Here's One For Your Carbon Copy File... :)

Dearest James,

You are truly my best friend. I don't normally like to play favorites, and I certainly don't want all of this to go to your head, but it's true. :P I couldn't ask for a better person to share such a strong friendship with, and I'm very thankful for you.


I'm positive that fate has had a lot to do with us being in each other's lives. The times that we could have met through the years, the fact that we lived so close to each other and never even knew it...those things never fail to amaze me. I'm certain there is an unknown reason why our paths could not cross sooner, but I'm just glad that they crossed when they did. I know that I'm quite wary of God and everything...but I'm pretty sure that it was in His plan that the two of us become friends. I know you've enriched my life, and I only hope I've done the same for yours.



You are an incredibly talented, thoughtful, and caring person. I know that you have different ways of showing you care and I know that we tend to bicker...but in spite of all that, I know you care and you have a loving heart. If I started to name off all the things you've done for me, this would just turn into a list of your good deeds and I would run out of time and space to say all that I want to say to you. Instead, I'll just hope you know how thankful I am each time you do something for me. I'm blessed to have a friend with a generous heart.



I want to do everything I can to continue being your friend. We have been through so much together in such a short amount of time, that I'm excited to see what the future of our friendship holds. I hope that even when we have to part ways, we won't part with the friendship that we've found in each other. It means too much to me to think about not having it anymore, and I hope you feel the same.



Today, on your birthday, I hope you know all that you mean to me. I hope you feel about our friendship the way that I do. I wish that I had more that I could give you, or do, or say so that you would have no doubt about how much I love you. I guess the most I can do is just to keep being your friend. After all, as Henry David Thoreau said, "The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?"



Thank you for showing me what divine friendship is all about. I love you so much!
