Dear Friend

Dear Friend,

Just felt the need to say thanks. For so much.

You do so much for me that I don't even see and so much that I forget to thank you for.

How did I ever get someone like you?

Amazing that I didn't even find you, instead, you found me.

Thanks for always being there for me. Even though sometimes I ignore you. I act out of some old bad habits, but you already know why. Sometimes I just make the wrong choices. Sometimes I try to do life without you and I think I'm okay... and then I realize how dull I can be, how stupid.

Still you're always there, the best friend anyone could ever ask for.

Thanks for always listening, even when I don't talk to you, and I should. Thank you for listening to my heart. Thank you for listening to what is going on around me and making me aware. You're always looking out for me.

You've given so much already, but you keep on giving. You have no selfish motives. I never have to question your intentions. You are the truest.

What makes someone truly beautiful to me is who they are on the inside... their character.

Although I haven't seen you yet, I know you're beautiful.

We've been on this path for a while now, but it's a short journey compared to others.

I know you have far to take me yet. It's a relief to know that you will never be the one to leave.

Let me be courageous enough to stay by your side.

Thanks that I never have to be self-conscious around you.

I know you don't look at me with judging eyes.

I've told you how just one friend is all I want, thanks for never misunderstanding me. I never have to explain or think twice. Help me remember not to discount you!

Thanks for continuing to work on my behalf, even when I've given you the cold shoulder.

Thanks for not judging me even when I'm judging you.

Thanks for not treating me as I deserve.

Thanks for covering for me when I looked stupid.

Thanks for holding my hand when I was walking alone.

Only you will ever know how much I need you.

Thankfully, you can see my heart, so you truly know the difference you've made.

I'm glad our relationship won't end in death.

Your death opened the door and your life makes mine a reality.

Thank you, Jesus.

Love,

Anna
