An Open Letter To My Childhood Best Friend

You were always my common denominator.

To My Childhood Best Friend,

Where do I even start? Our friendship started when we were very young. We survived all those crazy kindergarten days together, and then soon we were concurring grade school together. Our matching outfits or friendship necklaces were always a hit. Not long after, we tackled middle school together. We were there for each other to share our first kiss experience and our first heartbreak. High school came around, and we got our first cars. We would follow each other to school every morning and park right next to each other. The mornings we were running late, we knew. You would blare the horn until I got in my car, or I would I wait at the end of my driveway until you past. Before we knew it, we were being asked to the prom, and in a blink of an eye, we were walking across the stage at our high school graduation. Throughout it all, you were always there. Now, we have entered the next chapter- college.

You were always my common denominator. You are that person that easily become more than a friend but family, too. I mean there are weeks that you ate dinner at my house more than your own through high school. You know where my spare key is to my house, and there are days you sometimes talk to my mom more than I do.

I love you, girlfriend. Our friendship has truly been the foundation of my entire social life. You truly taught me how to be a friend, and I cannot thank you enough. If there is one person in this life that I know will always been there for me, it's you.

We may not see it other as much as we did at one time, but there isn't a moment I know of that we weren't there for each other. I love when I call and you still understand everything, and I barely have to say anything at all.

College has be an experience. It has made it even harder that you aren't physically by side. Of course, I miss you. But I know we are both happy where we are.

In this life, you are going to great things. You are the most hardworking people I know. Your smile and strong-will is contagious. And I will forever be in your corner.

Whether I am 2 miles up the road or 75 miles from you, I always got your back. I cannot what to see what the future holds for each of us, and I am honored to call you one of my best friends.

So thank you. Thank you for always being there and sharing this crazy journey with me. I couldn't have survived this long without you. People search their entire lives to find that one person who always understands, and fortunately, we found that in our first ever friend.

I love you, always and forever. Just know, you always have a friend in me.

Sincerely,

Your forever best friend.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
