Dear best friend, thank you for making everything better

'The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart'

Dear best friend,

You’re such a great blessing and every day I am thankful for your mere existence. You simply make everything brighter. I’m lucky to have you by my side, and I want you to know how much I appreciate you and how grateful I am for you.

Thank you for giving me your time. I believe a person’s most precious gift that they can give to anyone is their time because you can never take it back. So thank you for always giving me that, I am deeply thankful for it.

Thank you for making ordinary moments extraordinary, a simple day can become special because of you; a short walk and stop at a coffee shop always brings out the best stories. You never fail to make me laugh, and there is never a dull moment with you.

Thank you for always meeting me halfway. With our different interests and varying point of view, you always exert extra effort for everything to become easier for me.

Thank you for always understanding me. You've never judged, you've always accepted, and your open mindedness and compassionate heart has never failed to comfort me.

Thank you for dealing with my immaturities and tantrums. I know you’re done with drama, but you've never abandoned me, even if I’m hard to deal with at times, you've never left. Instead you still try to understand and love me behind my flaws.

Thank you for not making distance a big deal of our friendship. Thousand miles apart, and you’re still my best friend. You never forget, you never change, and even though we don’t see each other everyday, I’m confident you’re still my forever best friend.

Thank you for letting me know things first. Even though I’m not always present to celebrate the good times, please know I am always so proud of you; and for all the bad times, please know that I always care and I’m here for you; thinking of you.

Thank you for being my confidant. You've never judged me for being so vulnerable, and you’re the only person I’m not afraid to show how weak I truly am. 

Thank you for sharing your family and friends with me. It means a lot knowing the people around you is like having an extended circle on an instant.

Thank you for trusting me (I’m not even sure if I deserve your trust). You trust me with a lot of things in your life, and I promise not to do anything stupid that will break your trust.

Thank you for inspiring me. You're strong, independent, caring, and selfless character continues to inspire me to become a better person. Just so you know, you’re one of the few people I truly look up to.

Thank you for being one of the best teachers, you've taught me how to choose battles wisely, and showed me how to deal with life. You've made me realise how important each day is.

Thank you for valuing me. You've never taken me for granted, and I appreciate it a lot.

Thank you for being you, you’re amazing. If only you knew how grateful I am to be your best friend, you would know that this letter would never have an end. There is a million reasons I would want to thank you for all you do, but words are not enough.

So thank you for being my best friend,

Olivia Kennedy.
