I have been very lucky to have found my best friend when I was 16. We both decided to give our summer up one year and participate in the Ulster Project. That summer together changed me in ways I could never explain. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be able to be a part of something so amazing.
I have not been so lucky to live in the same town as my best friend. We are almost 5,000 miles apart and have been for 14 years.
She however has always been my rock.
She has been the one I go to whenever I have a problem.
She makes me see both the good and the bad.
She keeps me level headed.
She makes me laugh and smile when I don't want to.
She tells me I am being ridiculous when I don't want to hear it.
She makes me feel like I am doing something right when everything is going wrong.
She makes me a better person and I don't know where I would be without her.
I may not get to see her everyday or talk to her exactly when I think I need to but I will always know she is there for me when I need her the most. I will always know that she loves me and my kids with all her heart. That is what being a best friend is all about.

Oh I have a friend like that too! We have ended up following each other up and down the country, not deliberately, but nevertheless - I love her! I hope your friend sees this xx
ReplyDeleteI am sure we would have houses that had adjoining yards if we lived in the same time. She is seriously my twin with an Irish accent.

I can completely relate to this! My best friend moved miles and miles and MILES away, but no matter how far apart we are, we'll always be inseparable. Do me a favor? Make sure your friend reads this! It's a beautiful tribute to her. Thanks so much for linking up with #candidcuddles! I enjoy reading your posts every week xx
