I want you to know how thankful I am for you. You’ve been my go-to for so many years now and there’s no doubt in my mind that we have so many amazing years ahead of us. I love that with every passing day, we grow closer and closer. I know that no matter when I need you, you’re only a phone call or text away and I am so grateful for that.

I love how easy it is to talk to you. You’re always ready with a listening ear to help me muddle through the craziness of life. You’ve stuck by my side through the good and bad, happy and sad and never wavered. You’ve held me when I cried, listened to my rants when someone hurt my feelings and never judged me for my excessive emotions.

Through some of the toughest points in my life, you were the first and only person I wanted to talk to. I love that you’ve always said everything I need to hear--even if I didn’t want to hear it.

Thank you for being my biggest fan. Thank you for cheering me on. Thank you for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I will never forget all the times when I felt like giving up and you were right there to pick me up and put me back on track.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without your support. Thank you for having sympathy pain and putting yourself in my shoes so you can understand how I am feeling and do your best to help me.

Thank you for making me smile wider and laugh harder than I ever thought possible. Thank you for making me laugh until my stomach hurts and tears roll down my cheeks. Thank you for having the same stupid humor that I do and for hating by association. Thank you for making every moment we spend together a moment to remember.

Thanks for being my middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what best friend. Thank you for being there when I felt most alone. Thank you for showing me everything a best friend should be. I am the luckiest person on the planet to have you as my best friend and I am so excited to venture through life with you by my side.

Most importantly, thank you for being my family. Thank you for loving me like my own family does and for never letting me feel like I will journey through life alone. I know that wherever life takes us, I’ll have a smile on my face because you are by my side.

With love,

Your person.
