Dear Alexis May,

Two years. That's 24 months, 104.2 weeks, 730 days, 17,520 hours, 1,051,200 minutes, 63,072,000 seconds. That is the amount of time we have spent as friends. Yet, it feels as though it has been my whole life that I have known you.

From the day we met on October 19, 2014 to October 19, 2016, you have been My Person. You are the Meredith to my Christina. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met, and not just on the outside, but the inside too. You have a heart of gold. You have such a pure soul. And despite everything you have gone through, you are still the most giving person I know.

I am honored to be your best friend and so incredibly lucky to know such an amazing and talented woman. There is no one in this world who could ever compare to you. You are uniquely Alexis. You have been by my side since the day we met. The day that I kept being terrible to you because I wanted nothing to do with you, but I am beyond happy that I opened up to you, and let you in my life.

I truly don't know what I would do without you. The nights that we have spent talking until we're dead asleep, or the time you caught me talking in my sleep, to the time when I made you spray me with weird concoctions before my mom's wedding, to you flying to Virginia for a few days during Christmas to Spring Break. We have so many more memories to make, like when we go to the Virgin Islands.

There is so much more I could say, but the last thing I will say is... "Because I know you, I have been changed for good." You have shown me the true meaning of friendship, and the true meaning of what it is liked to be loved. You came into my life for a reason, and I am more than fortunate to have you, Alexis.

Don't forget to "leave the night on" for me.

I love you,

EmmaLee.
