Dear friends,

First of all, thank you for being the one to answer the phone when I called, unable to speak clearly. Thank you for realizing that I was hurting and needed someone to comfort me.

Thank you for being the one who listened to me when I was heart-broken; for listening to me when all I can say is "I miss him so much," "I want us to be together again," "I feel so empty without him," and every other thing like that.

Thank you for just being there for me when all I wanted to do was vent my emotions, feelings and thoughts. It made me feel much better knowing someone could just listen to me.

Thank you for always calling me to hang out just so that I don't sit home alone, wallowing in my sadness. I appreciate it. It saves me from making foolish attempts to text him, even though I know it's not a smart choice.

Thank you for being the one who picked me up from a bar when I just couldn't be in the same place as my missed significant other, and for making sure that I got home safely and soundly.

Thank you for just listening when all you want to say to me is "It will be OK" and "You'll find someone better" when I clearly think otherwise; when I say I won't find someone as good as him. I know that I say things that won't change the situation, but just thanks for being the ears that will hear me.

Thank you for bringing me ice cream and a chick-flick to watch with me when all I want to do is cry, and when I feel really down about the current situation.

Thank you for all the text messages telling me to have a better day and to stay strong during this time of pain and heartbreak. I really appreciate it, because it helps start my day little more positive and on a happy note.

To the coworkers, thank you for working along side of me, always checking in with me to see how I am are doing and if I need anything from you. Thanks for even checking if I needed a 15-minute break to just breathe and take a step back.

Thank you for trying to cheer me up with things like "He is gonna regret letting you go," "You are a beautiful girl, and if he can't see that, then he's crazy," or "He is gonna miss you like crazy." Thank you for just trying to turn my thoughts around on the situation and help me get above it.

Thank you overall for being an amazing support system and making sure I'm not all alone in such a crappy time in our lives.

Friends, you are the rock in this emotional storm that I am enduring and will be enduring for a while.
