Dear Friend

Dear Friend,
 Thank you for listening...I know that I am not always the easiest person to get along with and that sometimes I probably use your shoulder a little too much, but I wanted to let you know that I appreciate it.
 I know that we have had our tough times and that our friendship almost didn't last, but I am saying right here and right now that I will be forever grateful that it did.
 Thanks for always knowing what to say and when to say it, even if it's hard to hear and I really don't want to listen. You are helping to make me stronger.
 Thanks for not giving up on me when I was out of line. I know I've been there a time or two, but you never stay mad at me for long. I am trying to learn from your example.
 You are very special to me, and even though sometimes you annoy me to no end, I can't imagine my life without you.
 Thank you!

Love,
Emma-Leigh
