In our lives there are many friends who come and go.
Some are childhood friends, the ones that we go to all the birthday parties and sleepovers with...but once graduation day passes, so does the friendship.
There are the college friends who are pursuing the same thing as you but moving out of the dorm proves more difficult to maintain the relationship.
The work friend is there to help you get through the day but outside of the concrete jungle there isn't necessarily a soul connection.
As the changes of life come so do the changes in friendships.
Fortunately for me there is a friend who has been there through it all...she has seen me at my highest points, laughed at me in my awkward moments, gotten mad when injustices were placed upon me, and walked with me through the dark and lonely valleys.
She is no ordinary friend. In fact it took several years and a lot maturing for our friendship to become solid.
She has been with me for every birthday, even the ones where I wanted nothing to do with "happy cupcake."
She watched and cheered for me through soccer games and graduation days.
She laughed at me when I just knew my world was over with my first speeding ticket.
We would swing in the backyard, ride our bikes, play softball and sled together.
As we have grown older, I have been blessed by having conversations with her that help me process and grow into a more mature woman.
I see her with her children and I see a mom that loves unconditionally and works hard to bless her family in any way possible.
I have gone through rough times with this friend...breakups, fights, death...I have gone through incredible times with her as well...births, weddings, holidays...
Most days I would prefer to sit on her couch, playing cards- watching a movie- laughing until we cry.
I love all of my friends, but if I am being honest, she is by far my favorite.
As I said earlier...she is no ordinary friend...for she is not only my best friend but my sister.
It is true what they say, fate made us sisters but we chose to be friends. (even if it did take 20 years :)
So, dear sister, as you read this I want you to know that you bless me more than you know.
There is no one on this earth that I would rather call sister.
Happy birthday to my sister...my best friend.
