Dear Best Friend,

I cannot believe we have been best friends for almost 11 years. The term best friends is used so loosely, now, but you and I fulfill all the qualities two best friends need to share. You taught me so many things, such as what a true friendship is. Even though we did not go to high school or college together, we still remained as close as ever. We have been fortunate enough to share countless amount of memories together such as going on amazing vacations, our typical lunch dates, getting ready for dances, going to concerts and many more. Our friendship stands out to me by a landslide because no matter what, we will always be best friends.

I just want to tell you thank you for everything you and your family have done for me. You are family to me, and I am very grateful for that. Thank you for being here for me whenever I need it. Thank you for all the advice you have given me over the years. Thank you for allowing me to vent to you whenever I need it. Thank you for being the shoulder for me to cry on when I could not hold it in anymore. Thank you for always making me laugh with our inside jokes. Thank you for being understanding when things get tough. Thank you for always having my back. And once again, thank you for everything you have done for me.

Through thick and thin, I know I will always be able to count on you. Over the last 11 years, we have created a bond that will never be broken. If we have already made the amount of memories we have, the future is limitless. I cannot wait to see where our lives take us and to see how we have grown up and changed since the fourth grade. Just remember, if you ever need anything, I am just a phone call or text away.

Love,
Your best friend.
