Sweet Sixteen, Mims

Epilogue

Dear best friend,

You're such a great blessing and every day I thank God for your mere existence. You simply make everything brighter. I'm lucky to have you by my side. I just 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 can give to anyone is his/her time because you can never take it back. And you always give me that. I'm deeply thankful for it.

Thank you for making ordinary moments extraordinary. A simple day can become special because of you. A short stop at a coffee or tea shop will always bring out the best stories. You never fail to make me laugh. There's never a dull moment with you.

Thank you for always understanding. You never judged me. You accepted me. And your open mindedness and compassionate heart always comfort me.

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

Thank you for letting me know things first. And even though I'm not always present to celebrate with you the good times, know that I'm always happy and proud of you. And for the bad times, know that I always care and I'm here for you; praying for you.

Thank you for being my confidant. You never judged me for being vulnerable. And you're the only person I'm not afraid to show, who I truly am.

Thank you for sharing your family and friends with me. It means a lot to me. 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, selfless and you 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 sharing your faith with me. You've been through a lot and you're still there standing strong.

Thank you for valuing me. You never took 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 friend, you would know that this letter wouldn't end. Because there's surely a million reasons I would want to thank you for. And words are not enough.

Thank you for being my best friend. I love you.❤️
