Dear Middle School Best Friends,
In about six months we'll have successfully made it through nine years of friendship. Nine years of sleepovers, vacations, concerts, mission trips, long drives and just being together. There have been plenty of tears, silly selfies, laughs and inside jokes.
Our memories are some of my favorites. For example, on the fifth and sixth grade church retreat, we used to stay up till ridiculous hours of the night talking about the boys we thought were cute. I clearly remember one time, you made sure that on the bus ride home I sat next to the boy I was crushing on. You then proceeded to dare us to hold hands. That was the first time I ever held hands with a boy, so thanks.
But most importantly, thank you guys for everything you've done for me. Thank you for stability as different people came in and out of my life. I always knew you were there when I needed to cry or just vent. I've gone through some pretty messy stuff in the nine years that we've been friends but I've consistently had you by my side to stand me back up on my feet. Our relationship has been judgement free regardless of how awful the situation.
Even though we don't hang out as a trio very often anymore - thanks to college - I know you guys still have my back. I'm so thankful God has placed you in my life as not only friends but the sisters I never had. I know you'll be around for a long time - hopefully forever - and I can't wait to see how our friendship continues to grow.
Love,
"Popcorn"
