A letter to my best friends since 11th grade

Throughout your life, you will meet so many people that are decent, work keeping in your life but they will never compare to the bond you have with your best friends.

Almost a month ago (ish), one of my best friends turned 19 and pretty soon (today), my other best friend is moving to Jacksonville to start her official college career there. 

Life is changing for us. But, we have to focus on our incredible memories. Although we got incredibly close this year, it seems like we've been best friends for WAY longer than that. But they have been the most amazing people that have crossed my path in my last few years of public K-12 schooling. 

All three of us have been through absolute hell together and we have made it out so strong. They are the people that I would go to for everything. And I will love them for well... Forever. 

In fact, we went to Disney World in celebration of our graduation in May! 

I would take bullets for these two. 

So without any further delay, here we go. 

Thank you for getting me out of some of the darkest spots in my life. 

Thank you for standing by me no matter what. 

Thank you for loving me and keeping me sane and not letting me slash any of my ex boyfriend's tires. 

Thank you 

I'm sorry for all the mean things I have called you when I got upset. 

I'm sorry for all the heartache you have ever had to go through. I'm proud of how far y'all have both come. 

I know that one day, you will both get married and have lives of your own but y'all are going to be incredible in life. Y'all are gonna be so supportive and loving and amazing like you have been for me. But please also remember that I will always be your best friend. 

Thank you for being the most kind-hearted people even when I was hurting and no one knew what was going on with me, including myself. 

Thank you both for keeping me grounded when I needed that cause I know that was hard in the past. 

Thank you for encouraging me when I was down because I am such a better person today than I was in the past. 

The other day I was reading an article called An Open Letter To The Man Who Will One Day Marry My Best Friend

It said this and I couldn't agree more: "There will be things that she will go through that you will not be able to understand, and there will be times when she will choose to call me and not you. When those times come, do not be upset with her for choosing to come to me instead of you. It does not mean that she loves you any less; there are just some things only a best friend can fix."

My best friends are the friends that I will hold onto tighter than any memory that I made in high school. 

I love you both to the moon and back. 

You guys are my other halves and I would be nothing without y'all. 

"if you see all of the wonderful things that I see in her and love her more because of those things, then she will love you more than you ever imagined was possible. She is a rare and beautiful person"

I love you guys no matter how far apart we physically are, we will end up together at heart. Forever and always.
