As the years have passed by and we have grown up, I can truly say that we have been through every struggle. We were together during the ups and the downs of our lives and we never left each other's sides.

We were together in elementary school when we only worried about where to play at recess. We were together during our awkward middle school days when we had our first crushes. We were together when we entered high school with hopes of having the best four years of our lives. We were together when we walked across the stage and graduated high school, leaving behind our childhood. Here we are today, together again as we take on adulthood.

We are doing different things with our lives. We go to different schools, have different jobs and have futures that look much different. Somehow, we have remained together through one of the biggest changes in our lives and that makes me think that our friendship could easily last forever.

There is something so special about our friendship. We have a million memories together from each and every stage of our lives so far and I can only wonder about what memories will be made as the years go on.

Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for understanding me and all of my flaws. Thank you for knowing how to make me laugh and reminding me that I am loved. Thank you for getting food with me at any hour of the night, taking drives around town and making me laugh until I cry.

I have started college and have made incredible friends here, but no one can compare to you guys. You know me better than I know myself. You have seen me grow up and become my own person and that is so special to me. There are no other friends that I can count on the way I can count on you.

I'm not sure where life will take me. I don't know what our futures look like, but I do know that you will always be my forever friends. I can see all of you in every stage in my life that is yet to come. You will be at my wedding and my kids will see you as family. We will stand by each other through everything, just like we always have.

I am grateful for your support, the love I always feel from your families and how I feel so at home when I'm with you. I am grateful that I can walk into your houses when you're not there and feel perfectly at home. I am thankful that my parent's view you as their own. I am grateful that we are a family with a bond that will never fade away.

I am grateful that we are always honest with one another, no matter what it is that we're arguing about. We are always open with each other and I believe that is the foundation of our friendship. We have been through a lot already and I can only imagine what other things we will face as the years pass.

All I know is that you will always be my forever friends. You will always be the first people I want to go to when I am happy and when I am sad. You will always be the greatest friends to me and I will cherish you no matter what. We will have arguments, we will need space from one another, but nothing will ever change the memories we have or the strength of our friendship.

I can't wait for all of the memories we will make in the future and I will always cherish the memories we have made to this day. Thank you for the laughs, the movie nights and always knowing how to make me feel better. I love you all so much and couldn't ask for any one better to call my best friends.
