Dear BFF,
“Friends since the womb” has been our slogan for as long as I can remember. However, it is true; we've been friends since the day we were born (even though you are a month older than me). Our mothers were good friends before we were even born; so you can say that we were forced to be friends because of them, but I’m so glad they encouraged our friendship. For 18 years I’ve known you and I can’t wait to see where our future will take us.
Let’s start from the beginning. First off, it isn’t a coincidence that we live about 6 houses apart from each other. Every time we wanted to hang out, it was always just a walk away. Or just a phone call away since I memorized those 10 digits and constantly asked Mrs. Ebert if Rachael was home…
Our little adventures were the best too; we were like peas in a pod. I remember it like yesterday, we were playing in my backyard pretending we were in jail or making mud pies. Or even the time we rescued a turtle from its death because it was heading toward oncoming traffic. Our entire life we were always in it, and I can’t thank you enough for giving me such great memories.
Even in school we were always together. Unfortunately because of our rowdiness in kindergarten, we never had any classes together in all of elementary school (maybe if you didn’t keep kicking my heels after I butted in front of you in line, we would’ve had classes together). However, we went to the same middle school and eventually had some classes together! Then in highschool we had even more classes together and got into as much trouble as we did in elementary school, some things never change. But after highschool; we finally parted ways and went to different schools. We are now three hours apart and I miss you more than I ever have.
Sometime I feel as if I took our friendship for granted. We’ve had our ups and downs, mostly just me being an idiot. And still to this day; I don’t know how I got so lucky to keep you in my life and call you my best friend.
I want to thank you Rach.
Thank you for being my best friend. The person I can always talk to about any situation; always a phone call or text message away. Thank you for your forgiveness. I was a stupid child who made many wrong decisions, but you were always by my side regardless. Thank you for giving me 18 years of great memories. From spending every summer together to having crazy adventures on a daily basis. Thank you for being you and for including me if your life.
I love you so much and I can’t wait to see where our future takes,
Love your best friend.
