Losing A Best Guy Friend

It's like having your favorite ice cream flavor discontinued.

Throughout most of my life, I've never really had a lot of best guy friends. I had a few here or there, but never really any that didn't go away, or that I ended up having a crush on. Recently, I had a best guy friend and immediately we hit things off. We did everything together, we met at work and hung out after work every time we were scheduled together. We went to graduation parties and he wrote me when he went into the Army. It was like I finally found someone who I could talk to about anything and he would always make me feel better about any situation. He knew when and how to make me laugh. We became really close and I finally felt happy and anyone could see that.

I had spent so much time and effort in the friendship we had and invested my whole heart into being the best friend I could be for him, especially when he was going through basic training. I knew he was trying to push through and be the best he could, so I just wanted him to know he had someone cheering him on.

I knew he was cheering me on. He would help me study for my dental exams and would always tell me how he believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. I knew he would listen to what I had to say (even when I vented to him about the stupid things going on in my life). Overall, I knew I could trust him with my life and I hoped he would trust me with his.

I'm not going to go into detail as to why we aren't friends anymore, but I will tell you how I felt. I was heartbroken; I was more heart broken than I was when my ex-boyfriend and I broke up. It was just like losing a family member or a girl best friend. I remember asking God why he would put such a great person in my life and then have him just walk away. I was upset and was sick to my stomach. Instead of thanking God for him, I was mad he let him walk out. I was lost and felt like my whole world was turning upside down. It was like that part of my life where I had invested so much time and energy was ripped out and thrown on the ground.

It's been nine, almost 10 months since all of this happened, I had healed my broken heart and almost erased it from my memory and just recently everything seemed to pop back up again. That's why I decided to write this article.

We aren't friends on Facebook anymore and I don't think he will see this, but if he does, I hope he understands I'm happy for him, no matter what has happened, or how things ended. If he is happy, then I am happy and will constantly pray for him to have a great life.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
