Some of the people you thought you’d be friends with forever are going to only play a supporting role in your life. They will fade as life gets more complicated.
You may stay in contact with them, but that will be mostly for the highlight reel, not for the behind-the-scenes, nitty gritty real stuff.
But, this article focuses on the other friend. The one that is still a part of your life. And, to that friend, thank you.
Thank you for allowing us to both grow up without growing apart.
Even though our lives have taken different turns over the years, you have never wavered in your support for me.
Even though we are reaching different milestones at different ages, thank you for constantly being there for every new and exciting adventure.
Thank you for understanding that we can make different choices and set different paces for ourselves while still holding strong to our friendship.
Thank you for understanding that life is busy, but that we will always be there for each other.
