A best friend is one of the most important people that will ever come into your life. They're the family member that you get to choose and the person you trust with everything. Sometimes they don't know how important they truly are and how much we really appreciate them.

Dear Best Friend,

Thank you for accepting me completely for who I am. Through the first dumb boy I thought was the end of the world, through the times that family was too much to handle, and the first real heartbreak. I never would have made it through any of those things without you. And you should know that wherever life takes us I will always be there when you are going through those moments.

Thank you for being there for all the greatest moments too. All the laughs that turn into tears, inside jokes nobody understands, and the type of friendship some people never find. I was lucky enough to get to adventure life with you. I get to see all of your success and happiness and realize that it brings me happiness too. I hope someday when I meet my husband, he has all of the qualities I see and love in you.

So if I haven't made it clear, I appreciate you for all that you are and do. Thanks for helping me choose the right outfit, motivating me to workout (rarely), eating all the unhealthy food because we feel like it, spending the night watching Netflix, or spending the night going out and dancing all night, sitting with me while I cry, and loving my family as much as I do, I could go on for days about why you are the greatest best friend in the world and I truly would take a bullet for you. I love you more than I love dogs (that's a lot).

Sincerely, your best friend.
