Glad I could be here...

Today is your birthday...

When I first met you I really only knew your name.  Who knew over the course of so many years we would turn into friends, best friends, a inseparable pair, a dynamic duo and most importantly, family. 

I don't know what my life would be without you.  You've shown me more about myself and what I am capable of than I thought I knew.  You've given me courage when I was scared, you've backed my decisions when you questioned them, you have laughed at my jokes even when they aren't funny.  You traveled with me wherever I chose even if you could not afford it, you adopted my family as yours,  you held my hand when I wasn't strong.  You have given me balance both physically and mentally when I was weak, you wiped my tears when I couldn't,  you have made certain I always feel normal.  You have loved me when I didn't love myself.

I wish everyone knew you as I did - to see you for the selfless and humble person you are.  You are beautiful inside and out.  You have the biggest heart of anyone I know and you are everything I want and everything I need and lucky for me, I never have to worry about being alone because I know you'll always be by my side.

Even though our lives have changed and we are finding our own place in the world I know that when the tears fall or the smiles spread across our faces, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much much to the point where we're not still friends. 

So here's to you, Here's to me, 

... Friends may we always be.

But, if by chance we disagree, 

Up yours! Here's to me!

I love you...

Happy Birthday
