We all have that one person in our lives that really make a big impact on us. That person to me happens to be my little brother.

You are my absolute best friend. Now if you would have asked me who was my best friend when I was 10, I probably never would of said you. Now that might sound really harsh but that's the cold hard truth. It wasn't because I hated you or didn't love you, I think it’s because at the time, I didn’t realize what a loyal and amazing friend I’d have.

I want to take a moment and thank you for being my best friend. No one has ever come along in my life as 100% best friend quality until you. You are my best friend because you always make me laugh. Honestly, you’re the funniest person I know. You’re my best friend because you never sugar-coat anything when it comes to the truth. Sometimes I don't always see the way things really are when they are right in front of me and I know I can always count on you for telling me like it is. You’re my best friend because I envy the confidence you have in yourself and everything that you do. You’re my best friend because you’re you and I couldn't ask for a more truer person to call my best friend.

I want you to know that even though we fight sometimes, like all siblings do, that nothing will ever change the fact that you’re my best friend. I look up to you. Figuratively and literally. I’m so proud of the man you’re becoming. Although I don't get to see you grow up anymore first hand because I’m away at college, just know that I believe in you and if theres anything you ever need, I’m here for you 100%. I love you and thank you for being my best friend.
