This letter is for you…..any of you really. It is my chance to let you know how my heart really does feel…all the way down…deep into my soul. You see, my dear friend…you came into my life when my heart needed it the most. When there was loneliness and perhaps even sadness. You were always there for me to hear me….to just listen and maybe even to offer up some advice. You were sometimes….just there…..just the knowledge that you were there was reason enough to ease my heart. Did you know that your actions of sometimes just saying nothing at all were reason enough to make my heart smile? It did and still does. Friendships are ever so hard to come by this day in age….everyone is trying to compete for one thing or another. But, for you my sweet friend…you’ve never judged….maybe sometimes complained and even vented a time or two. But isn’t that what friendships are for? On many occasions…I simply think of you and moments we’ve shared and then realize…I am blessed beyond words to have you in my life..no matter how near or far you really are. A friendship like ours is worth more than it’s weight in gold….it’s a priceless commodity….a true blessing.
It’s because of you….my friend…I’ve learned to be grateful for what I have and to stop worrying about what I don’t have. You’ve taught me to have patience…and hope. I hope my dear friend that you feel the same way about me. My hope is that my friendship towards you…has offered you a sense of calmness…comfort, and reassurance…because….the feeling my friend is mutual. Sometimes…my friend…I actually have no words…no words that can describe the feelings that I keep tucked away. But then I realize…it really is okay to have the compassion and respect that I do for you…because this is how things are supposed to be.
It’s important for me to let you know that our friendship was meant to be…it was predestined…it was in the cards of life.
It is this reason and so many more why your friendship is so important to me. It is my honor…. and my pleasure to share all of this with you. Friendship is family….sort of…in my eyes anyway. How easy it was for me to allow you into my heart. Isn’t that really what friends are for? My hope is that we will always remain in each other’s hearts.
This letter to you…my friend…is short…sweet and means the world to me. I just wanted you to know how special you really are and what the connection we share really means. You’re…a joy…a blessing and for me…a one-of-a-kind. So, never, ever underestimate you…you’re that special and that important. Never forget that I am always here for you…only a minute away…since you reside in my heart. How lucky am I…..so, just never forget.
Before I close…and go on my way…may you never ever forget…my love for you is here to stay. Because of you….the world is a better place.
God-Speed my dearest of friend…until we meet again. You will remain on my mind and in my heart.
—Love, Me

“Friendship is family” is a sentiment I feel as well. We all have friendships that we cherish and those friends are truly family.
I agree, Paige…”Friendship is Family”. 🙂
So many times we take friendships for granted and don’t express our appreciation for each other. Beautiful post.
Carol..I completely agree with you and I appreciate the lovely comment.
