To Ivy

We love you more than words describe and I don't want you to feel like you lost your connection to us. You have meant everything to me since we met in sixth grade and the thought of you not being there to lean over and whisper to has been such a big hit for me and everyone you've managed to grace with your beautiful mind and personality. I dont want you to think the distance has changed anything because I can never forget the memories with you and those memories cant be topped. I knew one day youd have to move, it feels like one of the first things you and I know I shouldve prepared myself better but I just genuinely wanted to get the most out of our friendship without worrying about what happens when it finally comes to this. I really didnt think itd be a catorgoery 5 hurricane that would do it to us but life is wild. I feel so much regret for not taking the chance to do even more with you. I shouldve let you move in with me for a couple years just to really get all I could out of you. We still have so much to tell and learn from eachother and God knows I need you forever and always. I know people always tell eachother "dont change" but that's not what I want for you. I want you to grow and learn even more, for you to find your perfect self and love it with all of your heart. I love you now and Ill love you then. this thing let's me use 2000 letters and damnit I will. these stories wont be exactly true, I haven't decided if Ill write the real story under it or if Ill just let you ask me what really happened but I want them to make you laugh and see them with the same energy I'd tell them. I cant exactly yell and add commentary through text correctly but adding crazy things into it might help. I wanted to show you that this distance wont stop my craziness from slapping you in the face with some good ol' jokes and stories. I also wanted some help from others so hopefully they succeed with their great input. We love you more than 2000 letters can ever let us express.
