Dear Friend,

My time with you was too short. Our relationship was just being to grow. And then your life was taken away from you. My sweet friend, you were too young, full of life, and left too early.

Dear friend, the first time I met you I knew there was a sparkle about you. You lit up a room as soon as you entered it. Your smile was contagious, spreading ear to ear. Friend, you made me smile, and everyone else who was around you.

Sweet friend, getting to know you was a treat. We learned about each others families, each others friends, interest, and passions. You told me about your culture, and I listened to every word intrigued how you told stories about your life. You told me about your future life plans, and I was excited for you. My friend, I knew you would of been successful with those plans.

My friend, our time together was too short. I only knew you for a limited amount of time, but you impacted me. You allowed me to open up to you, and you did the same to me. Our time together was full of laughter, surrounded by loving people, all enjoying each others company.

Lovely friend, your life was taken too soon. You had many things you wanted too accomplish. I still had many things to ask you, and time gone I wanted to spend with you. Friend, although your time on this earth was short, it will not be forgotten.

So friend, I now look at the sky and know you are watching over your family, you friends, and protecting us. You know have a bigger purpose in a better place, and you guide the ones left behind. Friend, you will never be forgotten, but celebrated. Celebrated for your smile, you outlook on life, your positive attitude, and your passion.

As I continue onward without you my friend, I will look to you for strength, and take that sparkle I noticed the first time I met you wherever I go with me.

Love,

Your Friend.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
