Dear Best Friend (More like sister),
It’s hard to even know where to begin when writing this letter, as I feel like there is so much I could say that would fill up pages, simply to say thank you for being the closest thing I have to family, especially while navigating high school.
To begin, even though now we go to different schools far away from each other, I know that our friendship is one that will last a lifetime. Not gonna lie, reminiscing on the old days and laughing our heads off over breaks is easily the number one thing I look forward to. We may have not known what we were doing planning those prom group pictures and trying to impress boys, but hey, we tried.
Second, I really just want to say thank you. Thank you for being by my side when life got tough and I got stressed out about grades, looks, boys and all things in between. There wasn’t one thing I couldn’t tell you that would make you leave my side. You always offered support where it was needed, and always listened when I needed to vent. For that, I can never be grateful enough.
Thank you for embracing my crazy family, and for basically becoming a member of it. I could always count on you to join in the corny jokes my dad frequently told at dinner and to treat me like the sister I never had. Also, thanks for letting your closet become my closet when I was convinced I had nothing to wear, and for always knowing which “side” to take pictures on. (We’ve got this one down).
Not only have you helped me grow as a person, but you've helped me grow in my faith with the Lord as well. I love how we can go from being silly and crazy to being serious and talking about the things that matter in life. I know I can always ask you for a prayer or advice on how I should handle a situation because of your strong faith. No one can get through this life alone, and I'm blessed to have you by my side to make the most of it.
Even though now we don’t get to talk or see each other as much, we never have any problem picking up right where we left off. It doesn’t matter if our Facetime dates are 30 minutes or three hours long, you better believe I am getting every detail about that boy you went on a date with Friday night. No matter how much time passes by before seeing each other, you’re always the first person I think to call when something exciting in my life happens and I love knowing you’re the same way too.
I could never have survived high school without you, and I sure couldn’t survive life now. Here’s to the lifelong friendship and memories to come in the future. Love you lots.
Love,
The sister you never had, but ended up with
