i am your boyfriend/grandmother.

Dear Best Friend,

Today marks 21 years of your life. Weird.

It seems like an appropriate day to let you know how much I love you!
My entire life I wanted a "true best friend." I moved to Monticello years after each of my peers had established who their best friends would be. I never fit in. I never had that one person I knew I could completely count on. I never had that one person I knew could count on ME completely. Just when I had accepted the fact that God had forgotten to give me a best friend, you came into my life. We worked together for months before we actually became friends, and we were both intimidated and irritated with the other during that time. When we finally did become friends, we immediately knew that we shared something special.

We've been through our toughest trials together.
We've seen one another through their darkest hours.
We've dragged each other down, and pulled each other up.
We've held hands through sin, and through repentance.

Agonizing, we said goodbye, but only out of pure love for one another.

We're selfish, we're scared of losing the other to love. And at the same time, we're selfless, we can't wait to see the other be sealed to the man of their dreams for eternity.

I don't know the reason God made me wait so long to find a "true best friend", but I must say, you were worth the wait.

Happy Birthday Madi.
"We won't tell the world what we know."
Love, Molly
