We all have that one person that has been there with you through it all. Of course there is your family to help guide you through your troubles, but having a friend who knows everything about you is special in its own unique way. Nothing beats having a "go-to" best friend that you have known since you can remember. I'm so thankful for you and our friendship.

Thank you for always telling me the truth. I probably never want to hear it, but I need to and that's why you tell me. I know that when I come to you for advice that I'm going the right person.

Thank you for always listening. Thank you for listening to all of my stories that are nothing but nonsense. Thank you for always thoroughly reading through the novels that I call text messages. It doesn't matter where you are or how busy you might be, you always make time for me and my "crisis" at the time.

Thank you for all of the deep belly laughs. I'm talking about the make-your-stomach-hurt kind of laughs. No matter what kind of mood we might be in and no matter how far away we are from each other, you always find a way to make me die of laughter. You always find a way to turn a negative situation into a fun and positive one. You bring me back to reality and make me realize that nothing is ever as serious as it seems, and I love you for that.

Thank you for showing me what a real friendship is. There's so many people that come and go throughout our lives, but I know that you'll always be there no matter what. Even if I was only half of the friend that you are, I think that makes me a pretty amazing friend. I couldn't ask for anyone better to be my ride or die.

Childhood best friends aren't like regular best friends. Don't get me wrong, all friendships are special, but having a childhood best friend is the ultimate gift. Thank you for being you.
