An Unforgettable, See you later

My Constant Companion. She has provided a shoulder for me to lean on for 18 years. Someone I know I can always trust. She has been my personal light and example in everything she does. Her accomplishments have astounded me since day one. In kindergarten, where we first started this journey, she was that girl. That girl that wasn't afraid to talk to me and make friends with. She made me feel wanted and I still remember the ease and comfort that came when we became friends. Things haven't changed. Seniors in high school, and we are closer than ever. This journey has been filled with constant obstacles and hardships, but with her in my life, I knew nothing could stop me. I depend upon her. She is my listener. What comes with high school is the teenage drama that everyone dreads. The only thing that makes the drama bearable is having a friend that will listen and put in her advice. That person to me, was Rachel Condie. There are countless times that I have called her just begging for someone to listen and she has always opened her heart and ears to me. I cannot thank her enough. She not only listened to me but she also provided laughter. There isn't a  moment, serious or not, that we have not come out laughing. Her sense of humor hits everyone.

Rachel Condie, Thank you. I love you. Starting this journey 18 years ago with you was one of the best decisions I have ever made...and I was only 5 years old. You don't realize the impact and example that you have been to me. You have the ability to conquer anything you put your mind to. This ability will take you wherever you need to go in life. Those kids in Utah don't even know what is about to hit them, darling! :) Don't let this move set you back. Although this goodbye is 3 months earlier than planned, I know its not permanent. Its a see ya later because Best Friends Forever literally means FOREVER. I love you Rachel Condie. The memories, laughter, and tears that we have shared together are unforgettable.

"We were strangers starting out on our journey. Never dreaming what we'd have to go through. Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing at the beginning with you.No one told me I was going to find you. Unexpected what you did to my heart. When I lost hope you were there to remind me;
This is the start"
