My whole life I have been what some people might call a loner. I’d gotten through elementary school with two best friends, both of whom had moved away by the time I was in sixth grade. When I got my class list that year, I wasn’t expecting much. I was in a class with a group of girls who had been best friends since kindergarten. I had tried being friends with them- but I never really fit in. Nobody was exactly begging to sit by me either. I was sad most days, and I didn’t even have anyone to talk to about it. When I found out that in pre-algebra we were having kids from other schools come, I was really hoping that maybe one of them could be my new best friend. Little did I know, that’s exactly what was going to happen.
On the first day that they arrived I got kind of nervous. I didn’t think any of these kids would actually want to be my friend. I didn’t look to highly of myself back then. As these kids waltzed through the door, I could feel myself shrinking in my seat. They were all pretty, and looked like happy people. I timidly sat back in my chair hoping I could just get through the year unnoticed. I did so for about a semester.
I got back from break dreading the return to school. I walked into the math room, ready to get the day over with. Instead, we got new seats. I remember waiting for Mr. Nolan to call my name, desperately hoping my new table mate wouldn’t make fun of me. I get seated to a girl named Erin Kruger. She was never very loud in class, but every so often you would see her talking to her neighbor. All I could think about was how I could impress this girl who looked like she had just about everything going for her. I envied her immediately. She wore this teal eyeliner that I wished I could wear, and she had stra...

...g enough to talk to me. I want to thank you for dealing with all of my crazy. And most importantly, thank you for being my friend when no one else would.
The majority of my good memories are based around you and the people you have introduced me to. I would be so depressed if you weren’t in my life. I can never express how much you have helped me in life. I want you to know that you have saved me in so many ways. I love everything you have done for me and I regret not getting to know you sooner.
You have taught me how to be a good friend. You’ve introduced me to new books and music. You brought me into your life and I am so appreciative of that. I could go on for hours about how much you mean to me, but there isn’t enough ink in the world to print a paper that big. You have changed my life for the better, and I can never thank you enough for that. I love you, Erin.
I appreciate your care for our friendship, I'm glad that what we have done means
I want to say, you were the best father in the world. You devoted your life to me. I never forget that my graduation evening, what you did for me! You took me to a bar from the restaurant and you were happier than me that night. You had a party with other people at the bar, and I drove to home. When I parked the car, you said me “Keep driving to end of the block”. When I asked Why! you said “Just go”. You gave me old model Ford and said “You will need it to go to college”. I was very happy that time and my eyes were tearing over and I was very happy. Even you did not forget to test the brakes, the turn signals, and the radio. At the time, I wanted you to hug and how much I appreciated all that you did for me. I really want to say “thank you” again.
You have always been there for me and helped me though good times and bad especially in my younger days.
I love you both very much, you are two very dear friends to me. In the past year I have seen you both grow as individuals and flourish as a couple. Separately you both are very special, remarkable people, but together you are complete.
I constantly wish I was with you, and the days I’m not with you, or the times I go awhile without seeing you, I feel like a part of me is missing. You’re my best friend, boyfriend, cuddle buddy, and ultimately the love of my life. You don’t even know how much I hate hearing that the both of us don’t know if we are going to be together in a year, five years, or ten. I don’t want anyone else. I’m scared of how I’ll be if you and I break up. I know if that ever does come to be finding someone will be so difficult because I’ll compare them to you the entire way through. I will always love you, no matter if we end on bad terms or good. Thank you so much for being so good to me and always putting up with
Good afternoon, let me just start by saying that the kindness, support, friendship, and love extended to me and my family during this difficult time has really touched my heart- we are sincerely appreciative!
Thank you for meeting for at BPlate for dinner on Tuesday, I really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to do so. I had a really nice time sitting down and getting to know more about you and I thank you for trusting me enough to open up about yourself.
It's also important to me that you know that I don't hate you. Admittedly, I do have my moments of anger over the break up, but I absolutely do not hate you. And it's also important to me that you know that I don't regret anything. I'm glad that I met you and I'm blessed to have gotten the chance to know you on a deeper level. I don't hate you and I don't regret
In all my time on earth I was very thankful to my friends and family. I have valued all my friends throughout the years. School has changed me, and made me realize that you don’t need many friends as long as they are good ones. We had a lot of good times and I will miss them dearly. To my family, I love you all. You guys always looked out for me and helped me during hard times while I was growing up. Thank you.
It was very hard for me to leave my family and friends behind, it was even harder to leave my childhood home. I still remember the looks on my families faces when I told them the news, I hated to leave them like that, so clueless. However, I know this was for a good cause, so I won’t blame myself for leaving them. I’m thankful I got out of my old home, but I can’t ignore the fact that I miss my friend’s company, I also can’t seem to get my mom's and dad’s voices out of my head. Man, I miss them, but I’m glad I got my children and my pets away from there. Now I finally get to give them the life they deserve.
I am writing this letter to apologize for what I did. I should not have treated you like a band aid. You are much more than that to me and I know I did not treat you like that. I understand how much I hurt you, and I really appreciate you and how you stood up to me when I really hurt you. I am very sorry for what I did to you and you have every right to be upset with me and I understand. I wanted to get you this letter sooner but the only thing I could think to say was I am sorry, and I am pretty sure you would not want to read a letter and all it said was I am sorry. You’re everything I have ever wanted in a friend: smart, funny, caring, and very protective over people you love and well, I love that about you. I am sorry that I had joined in with every other mean person out
You came into my life and changed me forever. Over the years people have complimented me for being a good mother but I can't take credit for that. You were born good and you were the one who was often teaching me. I believe you are an angel God sent to teach me. You taught me love. You taught me honesty. You taught me how to forgive and how to be strong. You are the strongest person I have ever known and you gave me strength when I was weak. When times were sad and tough I looked to you for strength. You taught me how to be myself. Most of all you taught me about life and how to live.
Kari, I want to note how beautiful you look today, and to tell you that this has truly been a special day for me. Thank you for giving true meaning to the word sister and for sharing the last 28 years with me. My parents and I have just loved this girl from the day she was born. We?ve coddled her, enjoyed her, and laughed with her. I know how much joy she has brought into our lives, and I know that she?ll bring that joy into Ernest?s life...
Every day that I wake up and every night before I fall asleep, I thank God that we met, because without you I would be nothing. Through the hard times you have held my hand, through the rough times you have held me close to you, and through the ups and downs you have stayed by my side. What else could I ask for? When I am sick you tuck me in. You have brought back the person that everyone loved and have helped me learn to be the person I always wanted and knew I could be.
I stepped onto the strange campus that I would call home for the next six weeks. My duffel bag stuffed with clothes, was cutting off the circulation from my arm. I froze, staring at the four story building where I would live. Every worry I had, seeped through my mind in that instant. Being too shy to even order a pizza, I had never really made friends easily. Suddenly, the Upward Bound program at Bowdoin College did not feel like the ideal use of my time that summer. Strangely, at that moment, a smiling face of a friend, my friend, stepped forward and greeted me. She was the only person I knew at the time, so I clung to her. I remember standing around a tree with her and a few of the friends that she already had. I observed their mannerisms
