A Thank You Letter To My Best Friend

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNCC chapter.

To My Best Friend,

This thank you is long overdue. There are so many things I want to thank you for, and I’m sure that I’ll still be missing some by the end of this. But here is a small token of my gratitude for being by my side in this life and making it all worthwhile.

Thank you for accepting me for exactly who I am. I can be stubborn, difficult and confusing, but still you are always there. You tell me you’ll take the good with the bad, and when I question whether I have any good left, you’re always there to reassure me and show me that I do. Thank you for loving me in my dorky and difficult moments, moments where if the rest of the world saw them, they’d probably walk away. Thank you for understanding me like no one else does.

Thank you for being my biggest fan. Besides my family, you are my biggest supporter, and I know that when I win, you win, and when you win, I win. You encourage me to chase my dreams like no one else does, and I can tell that you sincerely hurt when I hurt. Whatever crazy dream I tell you I’m going to chase after next, you believe I can do it. When something good happens, you’re the first person I tell, and when something bad happens, you’re the first one I go to for support.

Thank you for being you. You are incredible, and I can’t wait to constantly remind your husband that he got crazy lucky and outkicked his coverage big time. You are beautiful inside and out. On the outside, you are so gorgeous; you’re very own unique image, and I know I’m one of many who see it. You’re intimidating to stand next to in pictures because I know your light shines so bright, but I’ll gladly stand next to you and take a picture, because I’m so excited to show everyone how beautiful my best friend is .On the inside you are even prettier, with a warm heart, a sharp mind and an unbelievable personality. I mean, half the time we’re laughing at some fail I had or something stupid I did, so I guess I contribute a little bit to our constant laughing. You are so kind and so sweet, and have the biggest heart of anyone I know.

Thank you for being there for me whenever I need it. I know all I need to do is call you, and I’ll instantly feel better. You help me through the countless problems Lord knows I have trouble solving, and you reassure me that no matter what, you’re always going to be there for me. This is huge, and something very few people have been able to do for me, but you always have, and I know you always will be. And that is the most reassuring thing I know, knowing that if all hell breaks loose, the world falls apart and I have no one, I’ll have you by my side.

Thank you for being a spark, a light in my life that no matter how dark the world around us gets, is always there to light my way and show me the way home. Thank you for standing beside me in the greatest of moments and the darkest of hours. So thank you for accepting me, loving me, and supporting me.

Oh, and thank you for being my maid of honor. I know I won’t need to ask you for a while, but you had to know it was coming, right? Thank you for being the godmother to my future children, the sister to my family, and a friend to my other friends. Finally, thank you for being the best to my friend.
