Dear Best Friend,

There's nothing better than having a special person you can tell anything to and never grow tired of, even if you spend every waking minute together for a long period of time. There's something so comforting in knowing that you have someone like that. I'm lucky enough to say that I do, and that's you. There have been people in my life that I've called "best friend" but were never no where near what we have. We've traveled together, laughed together, cried together, and we've done stupid things together. Thank you for being there for me. Those people who I thought were there for me gave me a reason to appreciate you more, and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you for loving me despite all of my imperfections and annoying tendencies. I'm impatient, over dramatic, and just a serious pain in the butt sometimes, and through it all, you continue to stay by my side without complaining. On that note, not only do you bear through my flaws, but you never feel afraid to put me in my place if something is wrong. When something needs to be confronted, you've never failed to do so. Not only do you confront, but you allow yourself to be confronted when I find something to be wrong. What a joy it is to find a friend that does that. It's so rare, yet such a blessing. Thank you for staying up late just to talk to me about my pointless problems. There are bigger things to concern ourselves with, yet you still take the time to hear me and help me. Thank you for always looking out for me around other people. When someone says something negative, you're always the first to defend me. People can be mean sometimes, but I know for a fact that you've always had and always will have my back. Thank you for understanding my weirdness and letting me tag you in stupid, pointless crap on social media without complaining or thinking I'm totally insane. Thank you for giving me a place to be happy when I'm with you. And for not ever making me feel unwanted, sad, or like a burden. You always give me a place to be comfortable and myself, and it's a joy to know I have someone like that. Thank you for standing by my side regardless of how crazy I sound, but also thank you for pointing out my incorrectness the other times I sound crazy.

I hope you understand how much you mean to me. There's never been another person to love and understand me the way you do. God places people on this Earth specifically for every individual, and I do believe He made you to be my best friend; and I am so, so grateful.

Dear best friend, here's to the many more years to come with you by my side.

To You, With Love,

Your Best Friend
