#herhappiness

When we first met, I didn't think things would turn out the way they did. We were so young and still learning in general what it was to be together with someone, even what it's like to be a friend; a brother or a sister. Flash forward to a few days again and now look at you and I. I got the privilege to watch you grow into the beautiful young woman you are today. In all honesty, I didn't know how I would react watching you get married. But as everything went on I realized how happy you were on your special day and the look in your eyes as the night went on. It hit me throughout the night that it didn't matter what the circumstances were and all those other things that people were too blind to get past, the main thing was that you were truly happy. It has been a long road between you and me. From meeting each other, being friends, being a couple, breaking up, reconnecting as friends, and just being brother/sister. Our long past has hit this point. There aren't enough words in the world to let you know how much everything we've been through means to me and especially how beautiful you looked on your special day. All I can sum up to say is: thank you. Thank you for teaching me what it's like to be who you are and what it's like to have such a strong relationship with another person. It possibly may have taken all the way till your special day for me to realize what it truly means to be a friend, but I am totally grateful of you for letting me realize it. You've taught me so many things from the day we first met and although I feel like I haven't returned the favor, I hope one day I'll be able to. I hope you have an amazing future with him and you continue on your endless journey of happiness. You deserve it.
