Thank you for being brave enough to let me in and be vulnerable to me.
Thank you for fighting all of life’s battles by my side.

Thank you for defending me.
Thank you for reminding me to stay true to myself.
Thank you for continuing to be true to yourself as well, because I think you rock.
Thank you for listening to my long stories as though you haven’t already heard them a million times.
Thank you for always making time for me, no matter how far away you are.
Thank you for being strong when I am weak.
Thank you for texting me and keeping up with me more thoroughly than my significant others have.
Thank you for being the most significant of my others.
