As with most friendships we have had our ups and downs and for awhile there we stopped talking completely. It unfortunately took something drastic for me to find the courage to talk to her again and like the forgiving person she is, she accepted me back in to her life. I really don't know what I would do without her. She has been going through some rough times in life and I try to be there for her as much as possible and don't have nearly enough time with her as I want to.
Best friends should be able to discuss anything and everything without feeling shy or scared to talk about them and I have that with Amy. We talk about family, friends, relationships, sex, dogs, general public and other random questions that come to mind. It is so easy to talk with her about these things that I barely hesitate when I have a new questions or topic to discuss.
I don't think about it too much because it hurts to and my eyes well up as I type this, but she was there when I found out about my Dad passing. That time is a blur to me mostly, but I remember clearly walking into the ER and seeing her face and just knowing and she was there for me through that. It was the hardest thing I have gone through to this day.
She is dealing with her own life struggles and I hope that I am there for her throughout them and can make more time for her and be there by her side when she needs me. This is why she is my best friend, I can not imagine a time without her anymore.
I am crying! Thank you so much for this! Yes, I just thanked you for making me cry but it is good tears. I needed this and appreciate it more than I know how to put in words!
