A Best Friend Like Her...

To My Best Friend:

To have a best friend like you is one of the greatest blessings I have been given. You are a light in my darkest moments, a hand reaching for mine when I feel like I am drowning. To be able to cry in your arms over the things that hurt the most in life is a gift so rare, so precious, that I will never take it for granted.

You are the person who never turns away, no matter how broken I feel. The one who listens without judgment, who sees my flaws and loves me still. You are the voice of reason when my mind is clouded, the quiet strength beside me when I feel weak. The one who would really pick up the phone at midnight, just to make sure I am okay.

I will never understand how I got so lucky to have someone like you in my life. How do I thank you for the countless moments you have held me together when I was falling apart? For wiping my tears and crying with me, sharing my burdens as if they were your own? How do I thank you for believing in me when I could not believe in myself?

Thank you for the times you have stood beside me, unwavering, when I was at my lowest. Thank you for the times you reminded me of my worth, when I had forgotten it myself. Thank you for the patience you have shown when I wanted to push everyone away. For your kindness, your laughter, your endless love that makes the world a little softer, a little brighter.

You are more than a friend; you are my safe haven, my sister in this journey of life. No words will ever be enough, but from the depths of my heart, I pray that life returns to you the love and kindness you have given me a thousand times over.

With all my love,
w.a
