An open letter to my best friend in Heaven

There will never be any words to describe the feeling every one of your friends and family are feeling. You were so loved and always will be. The impact you made on everyone will never be forgotten. Your loving, caring, VERY spontaneous, hard-working, and goofy personality will live on forever. The best advice giver and the best listener. There's just so many words to describe you. You taught me so much and you deserved so much in life.

The memories I shared with you are ones I will treasure forever. I will never forget how excited you were when you went with us to your first concert. I will forever miss your random calls and our lunch dates. Thank you for being a real friend. Thank you for being you. When you lose someone life just doesn't simply go on. It's hard to have to do life without you. It will never be easy to understand the reason for this and maybe we're not suppose to. Everyday I wish you were physically here with us but I know God had a better plan for you.

I like to believe that everything happens for a reason but that's been hard to believe here lately. I want to be so upset and angry but I know that's not what you want. You always made sure your friends were doing okay and always checked in on them. You were so selfless. Your light and loving heart will live on in so many people you impacted. I promise your legacy will live on always. Oh, the love you had for everyone around you and especially your family.

I know life will never be the same, but we are all blessed to have you as an angel watching over us all. I know you're up there watching down and keeping us all safe. I will always watch sunsets and think of you. I can't wait for the day I get to see my best friend again.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
