Dear Best Friend,

Ever since we were little, my life always involved you, whether it was at school, home, and even playing sports. You were always there right by my side/

No matter what was thrown at us, we always came out together through elementary school, with our “play dates” and soccer games all the way up to high school graduation. There we stood, one in front of the other, graduating together.

The best feeling you get is when you know you have someone you trust and someone who cares.

There was a time through college where our schedules didn’t mesh and the distance took its toll. It may have taken some time for our pages to match up again, but now it seems we’re back in sync.

Even though you might be hundreds of miles away, I know now that you still call me your sister and I still call you mine. It was a test, to see how much we accomplished while we were apart.

Now, it seems we're at the right point in our lives to start again.

Oh, best friend, I am so proud to call you such. You are strong and amazingly smart. You have achieved so much.

You took college by storm and now you are ready for bigger and better things. I still have so much to learn from you, but I know we have all the time in the world.

Even though a lot of time passes between our conversations, and even more between visits, we finally do come together and it seems like no time has passed at all.

We sit for hours and hours sharing our most embarrassing moments and even some less fortunate ones, knowing the other person is sitting next to you listening to every single word.

Being the rock you need to get through those harder stories, the bright sunshine of laughter after every funny or embarrassing story you tell, and your best friend and confidant for over a decade... it's truly the best.

I know, at times, things may have seemed rough, but one thing is for sure. No matter what, we’ll always be bonded as sisters.
