To my forever best friend,

I never thought the day would come when I had to say goodbye to you. I knew it was coming for along time. I am so proud of you for chasing your dreams and having the courage to move five states away for school. However, I never intended on the pain that would follow your departure. It is extremely hard to wake up everyday and know that I will not see you. I miss you so much that I cannot put it in words, but I am going to try my best to shine some light on just how much you mean to me.

You have taught me so much; like what it means to be a good friend and how to be there for someone in the hardest of times. We have been through so much together just in the past few months that not many people can say they went through together. I stuck by your side and was there for you as best as I could be. I know deep down in my heart that you appreciated every hug, text and phone call.

You also taught me not to be so narrow minded. You taught me to never judge others because we do not know what they are going through. You made me into who I am today and I cannot thank you enough. I have realized what is important in life and to let go of the negativity. I’m so thankful that God put you into my life and made us best friends.

Most importantly, you taught me how to live. I cannot explain to you how much being apart of your life has meant to me. You’ve impacted me in so many ways and I am so grateful. You showed me there was more to life than how I was living it. I love you with all my heart and no distance will ever break us apart and in the words of Lance Reynald, “True friends stay with you no matter the distance or time that seperates you from them”.

Forever,
