Life has its ups and downs. We go through tests and trials that test us to the edge of our brim, and sometimes we aren’t able to make it to the end without the help of a close friend. Parents, siblings, and colleagues at work all have a special place in your life. No one can take the place of your mom, dad, siblings, co-workers or other friendly associates. But then again, there’s also no one that can replace the presence, the aura, and the vibe of your best friend. Your “go-to” person. Your soulmate (in a non-weird way, of course).
This person has been there through it all. From the secrets to the gossip, all the way down to covering for you when you seriously screwed up – you can’t imagine how different life would be if this person weren’t there. Thanks for the late night conversations. Thanks for wiping away the tears caused by a broken heart. Thanks for laughing with me at something completely stupid until our stomachs hurt and our eyes teared up. But most of all, those awkward elementary, pre-teen, teen, and early adult years would have been morose and boring without your presence. From 5th grade to almost graduating college, the past eleven years have been an unforgettable rollercoaster.
Our fights made us stronger. Our secrets brought us closer. Our times spent together during all these years will serve as memories we can look back on years from now, when we’re old and wrinkly and wondering whether or not we’ve lived our life. “Thanks” is such a small word, and can’t nearly describe how grateful I am for you. Thank you for coming into my life. I’m blessed for having the best friend ever.
