Dear Muffin,
Knowing you’re moving soon and moving on to bigger and better things than brewing coffee and making Frappuccino’s like your life depended on it. And it breaks my heart. As Lisa has always said, we are the Dynamic Duo. I don’t know what I’m going to do when my other half leaves me. I still remember the first day we met. I had just had my second interview for working at Target and Lisa came in to introduce herself. To be completely honest I was so nervous about working at Starbucks. I never thought I’d be able to memorize all our drinks, or nail how to close the counter, but look at us now. When I walked over and saw everyone, you’re face stood out among all the others, and your smile made me smile and feel a little more at ease. Lisa now calling me a mini you is a true honor. You have made an impact on my life like no one else has ever done. I could honestly never, nor would I want to, imagine my life without you. Taking on journeys with you is what I live for. Whether it be for a movie night that I was not mentally ready for or walking our dogs on a path that in your mind is an endless circle. We joke all the time, have our own little jokes and most of the time are just in our own little world. Our journey to Pennsylvania was more fun than I can possibly convey and I honestly didn’t want it to come to an end. Carrying a huge couch up eleven flights of stairs is something only true friends can accomplish. Feeling tired and then talking the night away into the morning about anything and everything under the sun makes my heart warm.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, thank you. Thank you for being you, for accepting who I am and always being there for me. I know you’re only moving a little bit away but let’s be honest work and life all together aren’t going to be the same. I’m going to miss being able to see you all the time and it’s going to be hard but I’m still going to be visiting you all the time whether you like it or not. I look forward to our adventures that have yet to come like Disney and coffee places that we have yet to discover. Thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on, my ears to vent on, my humor to laugh with and my heart to love with!So as you begin this new journey I want you to know how happy I am for you, and that I’m there every step of the way for you! I will always be here for you through thick and thin, and I want you to know that if on your last day before you move you see tears in my eyes, they aren’t sad tears, they’re tears of happiness for you! I’m so happy for you, you are amazing and you deserve the very best, I’ve known you have wanted this for a long time now. So know that while I may be crying, it’s out of love and happiness! I love you forever and always, and distance is but a number, true friendship and love is measured by the heart, and mine would stretch endless miles for you!
“You have changed my life without even trying, and I don’t think I could ever tell you how much you mean to me. I can’t imagine what things would be like if I hadn’t met you.”
Love,
Your Cupcake
