Many friends will come and go, but some become a part of your family, not only because you are always together, but because they will always go out of their way to help you or anyone in your family. Some friends will mold into your family before anyone realizes, and then it will be weird without them in your lives. Lauren Conrad once said ‘A true friend is someone who never gets tired of listening to your pointless dramas over and over again.’ This is the perfect quote to describe our friendship as a whole.

Thank you for being you.

For always listening when I have a problem whether it seems like a big deal at the moment or doesn’t; for running over if I need your help; for singing so loud in the car when i need to scream; for just about everything.

Thank you for babysitting my siblings when needed.

Sometimes it’s just bringing them to their sports, but other times it is so my parents can have special time with just me. You have no idea how much this actually means to me.

Thank you for helping cook family dinner.

Not only cooking, but joining us whenever you can -- and the cleaning afterword, which you know is always more work.

Thank you for bringing life to the family group chat.

This group chat would be oh-so boring without you; you make it so lively.

Thank you for listening to music 24/7 with me.

Sometimes I want a heartfelt country song and other times I just need to sing at the top of my lungs to Hannah Montana, and you are always right by my side for all of it.

Thank you for always going out with me.

Whether it is a family party or just a quick run to the store, I can always count on you to tag along.

Thank you for taking so many pictures with me.

You really understand my struggle of finding the best picture to post, and knowing that I just love pictures in general.

Thank you for always wanting me to be happy.

Even when you know the boy isn’t right for me, you never yell or get mad that I’m talking to him. Instead, you just support me and tell me to be careful.

Thank you for helping me before dances.

From doing my makeup to helping me walk in my heels down the stairs, to curling my hair to giving me some pretty interesting dance lessons.

Thank you for not judging me.

Because we both know you had a lot of opportunities to judge and make fun of me.

Thank you for not only being a part of my family but letting me be a part of yours.
