Dear best friend,
The day we met changed my life forever. The first day of kindergarten and are moms introduced us to each other, I didn't know you would be my best friend, I didn't know you would become my sister, and more importantly my person. But you did and I thank you for that.
You were different from everyone in class. To others you talked funny and had special needs that kids would use to try to bring you down. But you never let them get to you because you knew they didn't understand what you were going even at the age of five you were stronger than any of us combined. Even I didn't truly understand what was going on, I just knew you had a big beautiful heart that was sick and I had to stick by you and be you shoulder to lean because you needed me. I knew I had to try to protect you from mean kids and I hope that in a way I lessened the pain for when you went to school.
Years go by and you're still my best friend. The memories we shared together are some of the greatest highlights of my life. When I would spend the night at your house and we would go swimming and play mermaids, still bring a smile to my face and have me wishing to go back to enjoy those times again. I miss watching horror movies with even though we weren't aloud too. I miss being your concert buddy and gushing over boys with you. I miss staying up late talking you when were supposed to go to bed or when our phones died and basically all the time. I miss your infectious laugh and smile, and the way you saw the good in people even when they tried to bring you down. I miss we understood each other because we were sisters. But then your heart got worst and you went to the hospital.
For two days I was terrified and I just wanted you to be okay. A seventeen year old should never have to go through this. But I think you nknew it was time and that you couldn't fight any longer. And then you died leaving all of us with a big hole in our hearts but also leaving us with a way to live our life to the fullest because that is how you lived and how you would want us to live. December 10, 2013 was when you died and I miss you truly and I hope I am making you proud in heaven. I just wanted you to know you made me a better person and I'm glad that for 12 years you were my best friend. I just wanted to say thank you and I love you.
Love, your Best Friend.
