And now whatever way our stories end, you know you have rewritten mine by being my friend...

Friends are amazing things. Especially when you got the kind that I do. Everything would be so much harder without them. When I need them, they're always there for me, supporting me and giving me a shoulder to cry on when my heart has been broken. They listen to me when I complain, they hear my fears, and they see my inner struggles to be the kind of person that I would like be, see the struggle to be stronger than the average person. This whole thing has been so hard, that I'm pushing myself to be a stronger person. And they're there for me. Reminding me that I don't have to do this if I don't want to. Reminding me that it's ok that I'm not like the Disney princesses I so want to be. I'm close to tearing up just typing all this. I have so many wonderful friends who love me, that will do anything for me, and I love them just as much, and would do anything in the world for. I know I have a huge heart, and having such causes more pain than really necessary, but they accept that as a part of what makes me who I am. I've never really had friends that have accepted me as much as you girls have. I've never been afraid of being myself, because I know that you will love me, even though you see the real me. You've never made me feel unwanted, unaccepted, or unloved. I thank God everyday for leading you all into my life. I'm more grateful than words could ever say. I love you all more than you will ever know. Since watching Sex and the City, I've wished for girls to have that kind of friendship with, and I think I found it. We may not sit around at breakfast talking about guys and sex, but we have a great time. I love you girls.

I know this will be one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. And I know with my friends beside me to support me when I can barely stand, I'll make it through.
