I want to start off by saying thank you. I know I already wrote you one of these before, but that's not going to stop me from doing this now. You should know by now that I take every chance I have to be sappy with you, even if you don't always do it in return.

In light of recent events, such as the Orlando shooting and the shooting in Dallas, I have been extra cautious to make sure those around me who mean something to me are told what they mean to me. I can't, in good conscience, not let these things remain unsaid, for even though you and all the others know, it means more to have it put into words and to be out in the open.

You're my best friend. You are one of the only remaining friends I still have from high school, and I wouldn't want it any other way. You recently turned 19 and I was the first one this year to post to make sure you saw it and knew that I was thinking of you.

You've been my best friend for nearly six years now and I remember reading something about being friends for seven years straight and you'll be friends for life. Now, I don't know about the whole seven years things but I couldn't see myself being best friends with anyone but you. You've allowed me to enter your home and your family and I have gone on countless trips with your mom and sisters and I was even invited to vacation with your dad's side for a few days in Hersey Park (which was amazing by the way).

You were the first real friend I made in high school and I couldn't be more grateful that I was introduced to you in the old Aggie gym. Looking back on every mistake I made in those four years, I realize now that every single one could have been avoided if I had only listened to you. And I guess I deserve the I told you so that I will get later. However, you're still my best friend.

We've had four am raves that turned into emotional talks and we've had fights that have lasted a week at a time. You have been by my side regardless of my poor judgment and my stupid ideas. I mean, how many others would sleep gladly on your floor as long as it meant they got to spend time with their best friend?

Olivia, you're my very best friend. I really mean it when I say that I'm in this for the long haul. You're kind and caring, and so very loving. You were the best prom date I could have asked for. You are the best friend I could ever ask for. You have been more than just a friend to me. You are my sister and I couldn't ask for a better one.
