What is it that makes a friend? Is it the same age you are or different ages? Is it that you have the same likes and interest? Or would you say that its all the above and that you just get along? I believe friends are much much more.
To say you are friends is a very easy term. But, how would you determine a best friend or a life long friend. I'll tell you now that its not easy finding a person to qualify for this title. Some people it may be and they may know right away. Others, however, have a difficult time. Would you say that if it comes easy is it meant to be, or if its hard is it meant to be.
For me it took awhile to truly say that I have a best friend. When I met her I found that out of all my friends we got along the best. About the beginning of out ninth grade year I started to realize that not only did I like her the best but I depended on her. She no longer lived right down the street from me. I had moved as well as she had. We were now a good ten min drive away instead of a ten min walk.
It also happened to take her some time to figure out that I was the one to truly be there forever and to be considered her best friend. She had already had a best friend when we meet but as high school took place she lost that connection and we began growing together more and more.
Describing a best friend is very easy to me now that she has been my best friend for ten years now. She is honest, trust worthy, blunt, gives advice, takes advice, is always there when I need her and knows I'm always there when she needs me. She's beautiful, poetic, creative, independent and vulnerable at the same time, loving, and cheerful. She always knows how to tell it how it is yet comfort me at the same time. I choose her because she fills the best friend category perfectly. She puts her family first. We consider each other the sister we never had, but if we were I'm sure we would but heads as sisters do.
Even though we are so close we do fight just like any two people would. We have grown different and together over the years. I can say that we will grow old together and live out our last days side by side.
Leslie Clift (Day) you are this person and I can't ever imagine my life with out you no matter how things go between us. I love you with all my heart and I will for all eternity.
~This is for you to have forever, My feelings written for you to read for any reason at any time you need.

You make me cry! Thank you Britt! I love you too... I hope you know that my frustration last week has been setting in for awhile and now that I got it off my chest I feel much more relaxed. We are sisters and it's expected that we will fight and need our time away from one another. I will love you forever and I know we will continue to grow in different patterns... but stay together.
