Dear old best friend,

I can honestly say that you were an awesome friend and person overall. It makes me sad to think that we have grown apart over the past few years. After all, you were a best friend, and you were there for be through the ups and downs.

I will always hope that you are doing well. When I see you post on Instagram, Twitter, or any other social media website, it makes happy to know that you are loving life and being as strong and cheery as ever. It's honestly relieving to know that you’re happy with school, life and have supportive friends.

Looking back at it, I’m not necessarily happy we’ve drifted, but in the end, everything happens for a reason. Being realistic, friendships are bound to end and people will inevitably lose and gain best friends. But with that being said I can proudly say that we have grown into new people, and even though we aren't best friends, I can still call you a friend.

I continually wish the best for you and your family. I couldn’t tell you how many times we had called each other’s parent’s mom and dad. I loved the fact that I viewed your parents as my own and vise versa. Not only did we act like each other’s parents were our own, but our parents called us their “second daughters.” And most of the time, you were my dad's favorite.

To this day, my parents still talk and ask about you. They loved having you around, considering you were their second daughter for quite some time. They'll question how you are or how you're liking school but sometimes they'll just comment on how they miss having you around.

Every once in a while, I’ll remember something stupid that we did, and it will bring a smile to my face. No matter what, I have and will cherish the memories we have made, regardless of how stupid they are.

If I can say one thing it would be that you will forever be connected to songs, considering we jammed out to them 24/7. I swear whenever my phone is on shuffle, there will be at least one song that comes on that immediately reminds me of you. Probably because we sung our hearts out to it or, more than likely, we twerked to it. Some songs just relate back to you, and they will always bring a smile to my face.

Thank you for all of the memories, all of the laughs and all of the endless nights we spent staying up talking about stupid drama and/or boys. I can’t even explain my gratitude towards everything you did for me. You were always my shoulder to cry on, and my person to go on adventures with. I’m happy I got to experience so much with you as my best friend, and partner in crime.

I’m so glad I was able to call you a best friend back then, and someone I still look at as a friend today. I hope nothing but the best for you! You’re an awesome person, and you’re already doing so much with your life. I can’t wait to see all that you do dude, just don't forget about your old pal once you make it in life!
