30 Letters in 30 Days...Day One: my best friend...

Dear A.,
I don't know if you know this but in addition to all of the other labels I could give you or ways I could describe you, you are my best friend. You have been for some time now. I think you sealed the deal the day I told you that secret that I never shared with anyone and you just quietly supported me through that very dark time. Right now you're waiting beside me for the inevitable bad time that we both know will happen one of these days. I have no doubt that when I need your shoulder you'll be right there with arms wide open.

I love you for that.

I know that I can always rely on you. I know that you take my moods, my silliness, my changing of my mind, my stubbornness and all those other parts of me in stride and accept me for who I am. One of the best things you do for me is make me laugh. Probably harder than anyone has ever made me laugh. I can't tell you how important this is to me.

You've opened my eyes to the big wide world, made me stop and think, and made me believe that I have something to offer this world.

You're my best friend, A. And I love you for that!

Mary
