To the people who never left,
You know who you are. Some of you live next to me, some of you I haven't seen in months. It doesn’t matter where we are or what our lives look like, I know I can pick up the phone and call you anytime and you'll always have my back. And I'll always have yours.
I cannot say thank you enough. Thank you for the good times and the bad. Thank you for wiping away my tears and being there for me. Thank you for your love and friendship and most of all for being consistent confidants and supporters of my dream. Thank you for all the times you were there for me even when I didn’t deserve it. Thank you for your love and support in my craziness.
But most of all, thank you for sticking around. That aspect of your friendship means more to me than you’ll ever know. You’ve always been there. You’ve been there through my periods of great success and my seasons of pain and hurt. You’ve supported me even when you didn’t like my choices or didn’t understand and for that I am eternally thankful. Thank you for being there when everyone else bailed. Thank you for sitting through the bad nights and experiencing the good ones with me. Thank you for answering the phone at 2 AM and wiping away my tears. Thank you for being a part of my support system.
I pray that I can be the same for you and that I’m always here when you need me. Know that no matter where life takes us I will always love you and be here for you too. I promise to drop everything when you need me. You've given me hope and a foundation that allows me to bloom wherever I am planted because I know if all else fails, I have you to fall back on. I pray that I can be the same for you and that I’m always here.
Thank you for being there and thank you for your friendship. Thank you for all you do and I pray I can return the favor.
All my love,
Laney
