Thank You Letter To My Best Friend

I don’t think I could ever express how thankful I am to have you in my life.

Thank You Letter To My Best Friend
Breanna Redmond

Dear best friend,

You have shown me things about myself that I haven’t seen in years and am so very grateful for that. I have struggled with a lot of things over the past year, and you managed to make all that pain disappear. When I hit rock bottom and was struggling to pull myself back up, your hands were the hands that helped to lift me up and dust me off. When I hit obstacles in my life that I feel are impossible, you are always there helping me get through it. I don’t think I could ever express how thankful I am to have you in my life, but I am sure as hell going to try.

Thank you for always being there for me.

There have been more times than I can count where I would call you because I needed advice, and you always manage to answer my calls no matter what. You make sure you check in on me at least once a day to see how my days going. Even on the nights where I had been so depressed all I wanted to do was lay there in silence, you still stayed on Skype with me to make sure I was all right. You made sure I knew you were by my side and weren’t leaving when I was having anxiety attacks this summer.

Thank you for picking me up when I was down.

When I have been at my lowest points, you have picked me up and helped me realize that I was not alone, and I was strong enough to get through it. I know you will always be here to pick me up when I’m down, and for that, I am very much grateful.

Thank you for knowing what I’m thinking.

I am definitely not the type of person who likes to admit that they are worried or upset, and I don’t have to with you. There are more times than I can count where I didn’t have to say a word for you to know that something was wrong.

Thank you for being easy to talk to.

I do not open up to a lot of people because I have been betrayed too many times when I do, but you make it easy for me to talk to you and trust you. You never judge me when I tell you the secrets of my past or when I am over-thinking about a situation.

Thank you for never giving up on me.

I know I am not the easiest to handle, and there are days when I just want to give up, but you never once showed me any indication that you would leave. You stick by my side even on the nights I have to be reassured multiple times that I’m not a burden to you.

Thank you for being you.

As you very well know, I have had a lot of experiences with the not so good people in my life. I had almost given up on there still being any good left until you came into my life. You are a constant reminder that there are still good people left in the world.

Thank you so very much,

Breanna

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
