"A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world." - Lois Wyse
I love to think of my childhood because when I do, I think of all the insane things Abby and I used to do. We were always over at each others houses, playing with polly pockets and bratz dolls. Having sleepovers that caused our mothers to go crazy because we never went to sleep. Or during the summer, we'd be together pretty much 24/7, going to the pool and bugging the life guards.
You see, when I think of the definition of a best friend, I think of Abby and the relationship we've shared for many years. I'm able trust her with my life; I know I can tell her everything I ever wanted to and she'd be there for me to support me and help me with anything possible. She's lovable, funny, and the best part is even though she's grown up, she's still that goofy little girl I met almost 11 years ago :)
She honestly means the world to me, because without her, I wouldn't be who I am today. She taught me so much growing up, whether she knows it or not it's the truth. She taught me to not worry what others think and to just be myself. She taught me how to draw, and believed in me when I couldn't believe in my self.
When we were little, we planned our lives out so that we would never be apart. Sadly, things went differently then we wished for seeing how we live in different states, but she will always be my best friend. She knows I'll do anything for her and I know she'll do just the same for me.
"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart." -Elisabeth Foley
We've always said we're gonna end up two old ladies sitting on rocking chairs, watching our grandchildren playing, and looking back to when we were that age. She has been and will forever be my un-biological sister. I love her more then words can describe, always and forever.
My dearest Abby,
I've said it once I'll say it a million times, Happy birthday! :D You're seventeen now..crazy right? It seems like only yesterday we were going to the pool pretty much every day of summer, or going on the craziest adventures like trying to ride our bikes to K-mart. Ha, we were silly :P
We spent practically everyday we could together growing up, and I wouldn't be who I am without you. I thank you so much for everything you've taught me and for being the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for.
I wish I could be with you today and always! I'm sad we've missed not only each others sweet 16's, but now our 17th birthdays too. Lemme tell you this lil missy! We're gonna be together for both of our 18th birthdays and my God are we going to have fun! :D
I love you oh so much, always have and always will. I miss you with all my heart and can't wait until we get to see each other again! Happy birthday Abby!
Love,
Your best friend,
Coral♥

ReplyDeleteWhen you say 'mothers', I think you meant to say older sisters whose bedroom was right next to yours and had to hear you two playing those blasted dolls in the closet all hours of the night. ;)
Happy birthday Abby! Can you believe this is how old I was when I met you?
