An Open Letter To The Friend That Became Family

An Open Letter To The Friend That Became Family
Seth Doyle

Somedays you just need to acknowledge how amazing your best friend really is and let them know what they mean to you, even when words don't seem sufficient.

Best friend,

You are such an important person in my life, and it is hard to even begin to describe how much your friendship means to me. You have seen me at my worst and you know me better than just about anyone. You've been there through my breakdowns, and you put up with my crazy. You can tell when something is off, sometimes even when we are miles apart. You've been my therapist from time to time, and you are the person I turn to when something happens, whether it is good or bad. You know my secrets and I trust you, even though that's one of the hardest things for me to do sometimes.

We have made so many memories throughout the last two years and I look forward to many more. I am always here for you, and I will continue to listen to your crazy stories. I love being the person who listens and helps you overthink and play out outrageous scenarios that most likely won't happen. We can keep sitting in your car for hours eating pizza and talking about our future, boys, and Jesus because those are some of the moments I treasure the most. The road trips and jam sessions are also pretty awesome.

It is going to be rough doing everyday life without you, but I know you will not be that friend that disappears out of my life never to be heard from again. You aren't just my best friend, you have become family. You are like a sister to me.

We get mad at each other from time to time, but we both know that no matter what, we never stop caring about each other. You make me a better person and you keep me in check. I love you for caring so much, it is one of the best qualities about you. You have a beautiful soul and so much compassion and love for those who are lucky enough to know you. I am so thankful that you entered my life, and I can't imagine what it would be like without you in it.

This may have been a bit cliche, but I mean every word. Thanks again for putting up with my madness and loving me through my flaws. Thank you for reminding me of my worth and just being there when I need you. I hope I have done the same for you. Thank you for just being you. You are the best, and I hope that you never forget that you are loved.

Your grateful friend.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
