Every girl has that one guy that they know they can count on for anything; a best friend.
I don't know about many of you, but I owe mine a huge thank you for all the situations and bad days that he's helped me through.
Thank You for Letting Me Be "One of the Guys"
If I was having a bad day, and you had plans with your boys, you brought me along. You treated me like you would any other time, and didn't act different just because the setting changed. You invited me to a lot of events with your friends, and really kept me involved in your life. We could play around like the guys would and do things that you would normally do with the guys, like go to sporting events.
Thank You for Making Your Home a "Get Away" for Me
You were usually the first person I would go to about any problem I was having in my life, and if you were home, you'd say I could come over and hang out, to get it out of my mind. Even when you weren't home, you told me I could go there. It was really nice to have a place to go when things were falling apart, where you know you are welcome and cared about. I remember coming over to just get my mind off something, and all I could do was cry, and you sat there and let me cry on your chest. It never mattered what I came for, I was welcome. You helped me through all of my bad days, whether you realized that or not at the time.
Going off that, Thank You for Making Me "Part of the Family"
I knew your family practically as well as my own. Your parents treated me like one of their own and were always overly nice and caring towards me. We could joke around and it would never be awkward. I would often see your parents in public, and we would have a conversation, and they'd ask about me. Sometimes they'd even give me hugs before parting our ways. Your siblings never forget me and also ask how things are. It's nice to have people that truly care about you, that aren't your family.
Thank You for Always Giving Me a "Guy's Perspective"
I probably couldn't even count high enough to tell you how many times I have come to you about guy drama. I would always go to you to get your opinion on my situation from a male's perspective. You would tell me how you felt and really help me through whatever I was going through, even if you didn't really care for the person I came to you about.
Thank You for Always Being Straightforward and Honest
Sometimes it was hard to take, but the one thing that really stuck with me was how honest and blunt you were with me. It made me feel important to you because you never sugarcoated anything. I could come to you about guy drama, girl drama, help choosing an outfit, or even help choosing what selfie to post on social media. It didn't matter what it was, you would give me your honesty. You were even honest and straightforward when you knew that I may not like what you have to say. You said it because I needed to hear it, and that meant a lot.
Thank You for Helping Me Realize My Worth
It didn't matter what sense I had "lost" my worth in, you would set me straight once again. I could've gone through an awful break-up, a loss of a friendship, an argument with one of my parents, or something as minor as a poor grade. It didn't matter. You made sure I knew that I was worthy of my greatest dreams and never let me forget that. You would always pick me up and put me on my feet again, and on the right foot. You pushed me to be the greatest version of myself, and no thank you will be great enough for that. You are part of who I am today. You played a role in forming me into the person I am today.
Thank You for Everything You Do
In my life, I've had friends that have come and gone, but you have not. You have stuck by me, even on days when I was being extremely difficult. No words, no amount of time, could be enough to tell you how much you mean to me and how grateful I am to have you in my life. Thank you for always loving me, especially when I was most-definitely unloveable and cold. No one could replace you. I love you always. Thank You.
