The Life That Is Mine

I am so blessed when it comes to friends. I have numerous "best friends" and I have many people that I love and trust...many people who have been there for me and helped me through the tough periods of my life. Although I love all of my friends...I have one different kind of friend. She is on an entirely different "best friend" level and those two words don't even do her justice. I really have no words that could fully describe how important she is to me and how much she has done for me. She gives me strength and hope when I otherwise have none. She has a way of talking to me that makes me want to listen and take her words to heart. She understands me and knows me so thoroughly...so deeply...that we can have an entire conversation without words. Her love for me, and mine for her is so intense that even trying to think of a way to explain her importance in my life fills me with anxiety because it is just so overwhelmingly powerful. No amount of "thank you"'s or "I love you"'s could ever make her or anyone else fully understand the feelings that I have about her and our friendship. Her strength and wisdom have kept me going, gets me over the bumps in the road and instills some sort of hope within me for true happiness. She has helped me up each of the countless times that I have fallen...and her comfort is something that I can't imagine living without. She has no idea how much I admire her..how much I look up to her...how much I want to make her proud...how much I want to see us both genuinely happy. I could go on and on and on and still not fully describe our friendship but to My Mandy, I love you so very much and am so lucky to have you in my life and to have you as my best best friend. When I think about you, you are truly in a world of your own when it comes to my friendships/relationships. I will never be able to make you understand exactly how I feel...and although it'll never be enough...Thank you and I love you! Your friendship is more important to me than you could even know. You are my best friend. You are my family. You are My Mandy :-)
