It is hard to imagine that our time of seeing each other every day whether it be in the halls or in a class are over. We are at different schools, hundreds of miles apart now and it is still hard to believe. Throughout high school, we were practically inseparable. All of the late nights we would stay up talking about anything and everything, sharing secrets that no one else knew and dishing out the latest gossip on boy drama, just like everything else, is coming to a bittersweet end. Our friendship however, is only in the beginning. No matter how far apart we may be, I know we will be friends until we are wheeling around the nursing home together, causing all kinds of trouble.
There are so many memories we created over the years and I will take them with me where ever I go. There have been times I have needed a shoulder to cry on and you were there for me as my rock, helping me through the difficult time. I only hope that I was able to be as good of a friend to you as you were to me. You helped me get through high school and all of the terrible and insane drama that tagged along with it. You followed along with my crazy, insane ideas no matter how crazy they were. Countless times, you showed me endless support whenever I needed it whether it be for a plan or in a time of hurt and words can’t begin to explain my gratitude.
There will never be enough words to describe how thankful I am for our friendship. Sometimes, I will sit up at night wondering why God didn’t make us sisters. After a while, I come to the realization that if we were sisters, our parents would have lost their minds because we are a force to be reckoned with, and because sometimes when you need your space from your biological family, it is always nice to have a second home. No matter what I always knew, I had you to talk to and a different house to go home to when I needed a new view. Even though we are miles apart, I know that whenever I come home to visit, there is not one, but two families waiting for me with open arms and that, is the best thing I could ever ask for. The fact that I can call your parents mom and dad and talk to your family like they are my own is an amazing feeling.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t stress enough how thankful I am that God placed you in my life and even more, made you my best friend. You have made me a better person and no matter what man comes in to either of our lives, you were my first “soul mate”. You are literally my other half. I can never put into words all of the amazing things you have done for me and in my life and I love you so much. I honestly hope that I am half the friend that you are to me because I don’t know how I would ever live without you.
