eric, there's no way you could understand how much i miss you and all the awesome times we used to have. you always make me feel good about myself and have the ability to cheer me up no matter how determined i am to be sad. i'll always treasure those times in trig when you would punch me on the shoulder and say "shelley, you're the man". and who could forget the first time you came over to my house? we sat on my driveway, ate pizza with zack and the brians, and you burped in my face.
you made me feel so special when you would slam me into the lockers in the hallway. even when you farted on me while we were on the bus going to school, i knew that was just your way of showing how much you care. i know you're only friends with me because you think my mom is hot and she makes you food, but i can't imagine not having you in my life.
your support and encouragement mean so much to me. i love hearing about the things that happen in your life and i hope that doesn't change just because i'm not in hillcrest farms anymore. i hope someday you understand how awesome you really are and how much you deserve. you're like family to me and that means you can never get rid of me.
basically, you are the ILL NANA. happy 17th, i love you.
