An Open Letter to the Woman I Never Expected to Become My BFF

Friend,
To be honest when I first met you I thought you were a b***h, and you thought I was snooty. To look back at that now it is quite funny. As we got to know each other we became closer and closer. And now I am proud to call you not only my best friend but my sister. There are so many things about you that make me love you. You are so kind and so strong it amazes me. You would do anything to make the people that you love happy. You are selfless and caring. You have done more for me in the last year than a lot of people have done in my entire life. I wouldn't have the position in my job now if it wasn't for you. I wouldn't have a level head in certain situations if it wasn't for you. I would prob be in a deep depression if it wasn't for you. THANK YOU.
The reason I am writing this is because a lot of unfortunate stuff has been thrown your way lately and it seems like you can't catch a break. I want you to know that if anyone can handle all the stuff, it is you. I know there are times where it may not seem like you can but I have seen you be knocked down a few times and every single time you stand up, brush yourself off and keep on trucking. Your strength is one of the things I admire about you the most. You are the type of person who can be smiling on the outside, but inside you are falling apart. You are raising your daughter on your own while working full time and paying your bills. That takes guts!
I also want to say thank you. Thank you for accepting me for the a-hole I am. Thank you for letting me vent to you and not judging me. Thank you for keeping all your promises you have made to me. I have always been afraid to get close to people due to them eventually walking out of my life. With you I don't have that fear. I know that I can be open and honest with you about ANYTHING and you will accept it even if you don't agree. Thank you for being the sister I never expected to gain.
Our best friendship may be fairly new but I feel like we have been best friends for what seems like forever. If I didn't have you in my life IDK what I would do. You have pulled me out of slumps that I could never pull myself out of. You have given me unbiased opinions on things that i have needed true opinions on. You truly are my best friend and I would be lost without you. So you are stuck with me for life, whether you like it or not.
I LOVE YOU FWEND!
