Dear friend

This comes at a time when you would least expect it, which is exactly my hope. You are probably thinking to yourself that it is bizarre for me to be writing you a letter, when nothing significant or important has been going on as of late. Perfect. This is exactly the mindset I would like you to have.

Let me start by saying that the past year has been a glorious period of self-realization for me. Through being your friend, I have not only discovered the excellent qualities that other human beings possess, but I have discovered some of those things, unused I'll admit, in myself. Your compassion makes me wish that if every single person in the world had a third of the compassion you have, everyone would lead lives that are a little better on the whole. Your love of life and the passion you show towards everything you're involved with makes me see that I can do those things too, and my life has bloomed ever since.

You have also been a wonderful person to me and I would like to thank you for that. We've been through a lot as friends, and I believe it has only made us internally stronger in the long run. The little time that we've spent together recently has only strengthened my resolve to keep in touch with you as long as possible, though eventually our paths may devide in the future. Things seem to be getting busy lately, and I am truly sorry that we haven't been able to sit down and have a good talk. Though whether we've ever really done that is debatable.

So this letter is a thank-you. Thank you for the wonderful times we've spent together. Thank-you for the wonderful things you said, and the amazing things you've done. Every moment in your company is a memory that I will keep in my heart. You're an amazing person and every day I thank God for the joy you have brought, and will bring to my life. So thank-you from the bottom of my heart for being the astounding person you are, and for bestowing one me the most precious thing I could ever ask for, your friendship.

Love, chris
