To my best friends in far away places,
We all knew that this day was coming after high school. We would go our separate ways off to colleges all over the country, make new friends, and build new lives. Saying goodbye was hard, but I knew our friendships wouldn't fade. With all of our lives being so busy, it became difficult to talk every day or every week. That doesn't mean you mean any less to me. We may not talk as often as we used to, but every time we do, it's like we never stopped.
You know what they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder" and I find this to be true with you guys. It's been three years since I've been able to see you guys as often as I'd like to. I miss you all more than you could ever know, and cannot wait for the day you guys come home for the holidays and the summer and we can catch up again. Not everyone is as lucky as I am to have friends like you in their lives. I couldn't ask for better people to call my friends. I love you all.
Until I get to see you again,
Mackenzi
