As high school becomes further and further a part of the past, some friendships dissipate and stay behind with those years. However, the best continue to grow and thrive and become even stronger as the years go by, and for those I am so thankful. Today, I want to thank those who are there for me no matter what I need, when I need it or where in the world we are. You know who you are and you are truly the best.
Thank you for:
1. Answering at 2 a.m. when I call you with a not so life-threatening problem.
2. Making and keeping your promises.
3. Laughing with me until we cry, snort, or spit milk out of our nose.
4. Sharing your families with me.
5. Walking into my house without knocking.
6. Inside jokes.
7. Taking and posting the most embarrassing photos.
8. Constant entertainment.

27. Having zero boundaries, ever.
28. Always pulling me out of my comfort zone.

49. And letting me be me.
No matter who comes around and where our lives
take us, I know that they will have my back. They know the true me
better than anyone else, and they love me for it. At this point, we have been
through so much, I am confident that nothing can come between us. You all have
made me who I am today, and I really do not know where, or who, I would be
without having you by my side all these years. So, thanks for the endless
love.
