Dear Best Friend from High School --

Hi, its me, your best friend from high school, the one you did absolutely everything with. I miss you, and sometimes I wish we were still in high school so I got to see you everyday. Leaving for college was the best and the saddest time for me, and I am sure it wasn't always easy for you either.

The person that I had been best friends with since we were three years old, was going to a different school than me for the first time ever. We were no longer going to be in the same hallway, have lockers right next to each other, or even have the exact same class schedule and I wasn't completely ready for that. I know no matter what you will always be my best friend, just as I will be yours, and for that I am forever thankful.

I am so glad you found your home, and that I found mine even though they aren't together or even close for that matter. But as I sit back and think we are two completely different people that want two completely different things in life but yet we are still so close its amazing. Even with being 132 miles apart it still feels like we are ten minutes apart when we talk. I know that if something ever happens and I need you by my side, that in about 2 hours you will be there depending on how fast the person in front of you is going.

While we have been at separate schools we have both found some new friends, that treat us like they have known us forever. I am so thankful your new friends take great care of you, and are always down for something whenever you want to go out. Also, I am thankful that they like Chinese food and ice cream as much as you do! If I had to do everything all over again from the day we met, I wouldn't change a single thing not even us going to different Universities, simply because I have the best best friend in the world and only a couple other people can say that about you.

From having different teachers all the way up until middle school, to playing softball together since we were 5, from sleep overs trying to stay up until 12 but actually falling asleep at like 9:30, to hating the other girls from the teams we were playing, to doing absolutely everything together I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do these with. You are my best friend and you always will be no matter what...even when you get to go explore Spain for 6 months and I am stuck in freaking Ohio.

Just know that wherever you go in life, I will always be with you. It might not be in person, but it will definitely be in heart. I will always be here whenever you need to vent, whenever you need to get away, whenever you want to go to the beach, whenever you want to do anything. You will always be my go to and the one person that I will always call my best friend.

I love you so much,

Your high school best friend.
