"The people that are meant to stay in your life, will; I promise." -Alyssa Bartling
Those are the words often said to me by my best friend. I'm grateful that she is one of those people that is meant stay in my life. I'm thankful for her insite, her joy, and her love.
Alyssa,
You have been my best friend, my person, for 5 years now. We have done just about everything together, but we have been through a lot together as well. I'm thankful for the times we have been insperable. I'm also thankful for the times we have been distant. Every bump, every rough patch, and every moment we have been insperable; each have taught me how much I appreciate you being my best friend and my person.
Today is a day that deserves to be celebrated. Today marks

Today is the day my best friend was brought into the world. I can not express how exciting it is for me. I am so proud of who you have become and all that you have overcome. Congratulations, you've made it. You have made it through 17 years. Not all of them were easy. You are so strong and I couldn't be more proud of you for making the 17 years the best they could …show more content…
There are a few things I want you to remember before I end this letter.
1) Lighten up: Life isn't easy, and it isn't always fun. But don't let it drag you down. With stress and struggles, it can be hard to be light and happy. If you ever need a laugh or to just get your mind off of things, I'm always here. Don't let things get too heavy. Do have fun. Smile.
2) You aren't alone: I got your back, and a lot of other people do, too! Don't ever think that your in this by yourself. Becasue people love you.
3) Take your time: You're only 17, once. Enjoy it. Take new adventures, life your life to the fullest, and cherish every moment. (Not to be cheesey)
4) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I love you so much and I hope your day is incredible.
I made this an open letter, becasue I know someone else out there feels this way about their best friend, maybe even you. I don't tell you how much I appreciate you enough. You are so wonderful, some people don't know how incredible you are. Your birthday is a time to be celebrated and I know you have people other than me in your life who are grateful to have you too.
Thank you for being my best friend, my person. Happy Birthday!
Much love,
I never thought I’d say this, but you are one of the best friends I’ve ever had
Thank you to all of our amazing family and friends for everything you have done. Words aren’t enough to express our love and gratitude we have for you.
You have always been there for me and helped me though good times and bad especially in my younger days.
I appreciate your care for our friendship, I'm glad that what we have done means
“Don’t settle for mediocrity. Take a chance. Take a risk. Rekindle it. It’s all worth it.”
Well…I hope you’ve all been having a good time and enjoyed yourselves so far……… Good …..but as they say ….. every silver lining has a cloud….. and I’m afraid it’s just got overcast!
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.
You are a truly an amazing friend who always has the latest gossip, and funny stories to share. You have been my buddy through it all. Congratulations on this wonderful achievement, we both did it!
Ladies and Gentlemen you'll be pleased to know I am only going to speak for a couple of minutes because of my throat..... if I go on too long Angie has threatened to cut it.
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 to my loved ones who love me unconditionally. Above all, I want to say thank you
I’m going to miss her, so much. Eventually I will be able to remember her without breaking into tears and see the good times we had. I know that I had to write a happy story, but I needed to write this. I read that this was good for getting out of the grief. So this is my first step out of the sadness The one good thing about losing a friend, even a best friend, it’s that you can always make more, and that is pretty neat.
Sami, I wish you the happiest, most joyous of birthdays today.
May my efforts as a mother not be measured by my actions, but by the love I show in my actions. You will always feel surrounded by love in all the stages of your life. I hope you fall in love with the stars and their clarity. I hope you embrace the crisp air with a hug, as it surrounds you in a blanket each time
I am immensely thankful for someone who has been right beside me through all the peaks and valleys of life...my dog. These wonderful pets are intelligent, loyal, caring, and have been scientifically proven to boost the mental health of several. In other words, they stop at nothing to augment a person’s happiness. All dogs offer amazing companionship as they are always ecstatic to accompany me on any task, for example, going on a walk outdoors or even just lounging around at home. Also, I am thankful how growing up with a pet has strengthened my responsibility skills.
