These are the friends who listen when we need to cry or yell or scream – and know the words we need to hear to soothe our troubles.

“

Often times, they do stay. In our hearts. In our head. In our memories. Forever.

“

Thank you for accepting my flaws and being blunt with me.

“

Whether your life is falling into place or spinning out of your control, I am here. And I am not going anywhere.

“

Confidence may come in all shapes and sizes, but the underlying characteristic of any confident person is that they take care of their own and give them the power to one day take care of others. My friends taught me that.

“

Thank you for allowing me to learn some tough lessons on my own. Thank you for stopping me when I started to become destructive. Thank you for never questioning me, even when I questioned myself. You have saved me in so many ways.

“

You consider your bond to be closer than family.

“

True friends demonstrate their loyalty by keeping your dirty little secrets right where they belong: with them. True friends won’t care if you’re at different places in life. The timing of meeting life’s milestones doesn’t need to have a similar agenda.

“

Distance and time difference seems so petty in comparison with everything that holds us together.

This is for the girlfriends we forget to thank. The ones who have been there for us since day one and will always stand by our side, no matter what life throws in the way.
