People talk about their childhood best friend, their best friend in high school and even in college. They say this is their person. But very few have a person like I have in you.
We have dealt with distance, arguments, and anything and everything a friendship could possibly ever endure, and to top it off, we’ve been doing this since we were babies.
We played pretend and dressed up. Making believe you would be doing something in music traveling the world and living in New York. I was always somewhere down in the South somewhere being a wife and a mother.
Fast forward 20 years later, you’re living in the city and I’m getting married and moving to away. Seems like we always knew what was going to happen, even if the roads we traveled might not have been the smoothest, or most ideal.
The path we took, watched each other take, fought to come back from, and leaned on each other along the way- got us to exactly where we are now. Which is fulfilling our life long dreams.
Crazier still, we’re still together. Throughout everything life has thrown at us, our friendship is invincible.
We go weeks, even months without speaking, and then when we do get a chance to get together or talk, it’s like nothing has ever changed. That’s just how we are. We understand we both have lives, but time doesn’t have an effect on us.
It blows my mind that we have been friends for so long. You know me better than I know myself, and I know you that well too. After all these years it’s almost a twin like thing the way our minds our synced. There’s really no explanation for it.
When I told you I was getting married you replied, without missing a beat, and said “I’m assuming I’m going to be in your wedding,”
Very few people have someone like that in their lives. I have the most amazing maid of honor. It is so much more than that though.
If you’re lucky in life you really will meet someone who is a true friend. A friend in every aspect. A friend like you and I have in each other.
Some people never have a friend like that and then to think I met mine when I was 18 months old, it’s insane.
You have seen me at worst, my best, and everything in between. You sat by deathbed, not knowing if I would live or die, and you’re going to be standing right beside me on my wedding day.
I love you and I can’t believe after everything we have been through, both the good and bad, the person who knows me best will be standing right beside me as I say my vows. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, and I couldn’t be more thankful for my unbiological sister.
