I couldn’t have handpicked you if I tried. You feel like a friend that I’ve always had, a friend that despite not knowing all of the things I would want a lifelong friend to know, you already somehow do know them. How is that? It's hard to remember life before you were in it, which says it all.
Thank you for loving John so well. While I may not have hand picked you for him myself, I know without a doubt that God did. You bring out the best in him, while leaving him wild at the same time. It takes a rare kind of person to love their people like that, you know?
You're one of my favorite people to spend my days with. Your brilliance and beauty astound me always, and your sass always leaves me feeling in good company. Any time spent with you is an honor and a good time, and I pray there will be years upon years upon years of more dinner dates, weekends together, and shenanigans to be had and retold for years to come.
Thank you and I love you.
