Dear Megan,
I remember the first year of us being friends. It was 8th grade, just before High School. We were in a big group of friends, but I remember us always being close. Whether it was hangouts at your house, walks to Wawa, or eventually working at Laura's Pizzeria together, I always loved being around you.
Your personality has always been one of my favorite things about you. You always cheered me up, made me laugh, and cried with me when I needed it most.
Throughout 8th grade and the first 2 years of High School, our big friend group went away, person by person. By Junior year, we had been put into a completely new group of people. We had mutual friends so we were as close as we once were.
I never thought we would end up in college together when I first met you in 8th grade. Now, we are closer than we were and I consider you my third sister.
We've been through so much ever since first coming to Shippensburg University and I've loved every second of it because I got to spend it all with you. We'll be roommates next year and I am so excited to experience that with you.
You've been going through a lot this year. You've had problems that only you can solve, and I will be with you every step of the way.
You'll be back in the Fall, I know, but the rest of this semester will not be the same without you. You have always been a light in my life and I will miss you so much.
A broken heart is not irreparable. You are the strongest girl I know and I know you can get through this.
Through breakups, long nights, fights, drunken voicemails, dinner every night, library dates, car rides home, chaotic shifts at Laura's, and so so SO much more, you have remained my favorite person on this planet.
I would not be where I am today without you. I love you with all my heart and I thank my lucky stars I have you in my life.
What you are going through is temporary. In a few years, we'll look back on this and remember how you got through it.
To my best friend, you are an amazing, beautiful woman and I love you!
Love,
Casey
