I think you get one miracle in life, one hail mary, one saving grace, and I think you guys are mine.

Most people meet their best friends when their 5 years old in Kindergarten and need someone to play with them on the playground. But for us, that wasn’t the case. It took me 18 of my 19 years, to find you guys and realize what it’s like to have someone there for you no matter what.

We always try to put each other in order of who we like the best, and every day it changes depending on who picks up the phone or who answers the snapchat. But let’s be honest, there’s no competition, and there’s no order. We don’t work as pairs, and we don’t work as a trifecta, it’s a core four or there’s no point. We’ve made our own little family, complete with a mom and some dogs, because what else does a person need in life? It’s basically the American dream.

And thanks to you guys I now know what it’s like to listen to the same 3 songs on repeat and never get sick of them. I still can’t understand why we go to Dunkin and Starbucks in one trip, or why the radio has to be on an odd number, or why we have to be home by 11, but I think those are the reasons why I can’t live without you. I can’t live without the craziness.

I’ve watched too many people walk out of my life to know that everyone eventually leaves. But with you guys it’s different. It’s not weird if we sit in silence or laugh uncontrollably over the dumbest things. Nothing with us is off limits, and I know sometimes I don’t share my deepest thoughts, but just know that I trust you entirely with my life and there’s nothing I wouldn’t tell you.

Life is made up of moments, and I’m thankfully to have you guys next to me for most of them. I’m thankfully that you are the people who can talk me out of my own head when I get angry. And you’re the first people I call when I have a really bad day, or a really good one. I don’t know where I’d be without you guys so I’m thankful you came into my life when you did.

We might not have been friends for that long, but I can promise we will love each other until we’re grey and old. We’ll all be standing right there for the weddings, the kids, the happy moments, and the sad ones, because this is a bond that cannot be broken. And even if were hundreds of miles apart right now just remember to always, “Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you. Go to work, do your best, don’t outsmart your common sense, never let your prayin knees get lazy, and love like crazy”.

I love you guys to the moon and back times infinity, thank you for being the best part of me.
