2. I suspect you’re aware of it, but you’ve had a stunning impact on the woman I’m still developing into. I would be a much different lass (and a less interesting one) had we not become so close. You take countless hours out of your days to do things I want to do. I appreciate that tremendously; all the time, every time. Always being a strong voice of reason when I can’t cope, yet also being an affectionate one Standing up for me even when I’m largely at fault Allowing me to verbally process my feelings, helping me organize them coherently Thank You
3. Hugs & head rests. Yours are easily the best. For laughing when I try to be funny, even if I’m not Your photos make me look better, my dear Foods: this is either the bane or the foundation of Edison-Monica Time Computer Skillz: how else would I know the difference between hard drive types? Entertaining zany ideas: I’m so glad we can dream Reminding me things are mostly okay when I worry too much, calming me For being honest with me, for being my confidante Simply being there for me Danke, my Dear
8. Edison (n.) A person greater than the sum of their parts, despite how much meaning is attributed to each.
9. Imagination beyond what I can fathom Fitting things into other things expertly Inspiring me to improve in dance!! Huge influence Practicing ehspanish with me, among other languages Exposing me to new ideas Encouraging me to ‘get up on stage,’ in more than one sense Remembering things that are important to me Appreciating small pieces of wonder: sunsets, stars, resident bebes Why You Are Wunderbar
11. Thank you for being you, my Dear. Quite possibly the bestest best friend I’ve had the honor to journey with, ever. You are an incredible person in my life, and I respect you tremendously. Although we’ve had rough patches, I wouldn’t trade a moment of it for the world. Life may take us in different directions, but I hope we can maintain our special friendship in the future. I love you. Always. -Monica But Most of All
