Dear Best Friends,
I was there for your Bridal Shower.
Bachelorette Party
Wedding
Baby Shower
Birth of your child(ren)
I will always be there for you. I love being part of your big moments. I treasure those moments.
But being your best friend is harder these days. It feels as though everyone around me is moving on and I'm stuck on a deserted island still searching for a way off. Don't get me wrong, I love your kids. I love hugging and holding them and they will always have a special place in my heart, but I miss us.
I miss daily texts.
Snapchats.
Movies.
Baking.
Pizza Pockets.
Sitting on the couch talking.
Telling you my secrets.
Getting my hair and makeup done.
Girl's night/weekend.
I know that you have other responsibilities now and I get that you are no longer able to drop everything when I need you. But I miss you.
I don't text because I don't want to interrupt your life.
I don't call because you are probably busy.
I don't show up uninvited, because... well, because it seems rude now.
I don't complain because I feel lucky to have you even just for a little while.
I will try not to think that you don't love me.
I will try not to think that you no longer want to be friends.
It will be hard. I know this.
I guess, I just wanted you to know that I love you. I miss you.
And I wouldn't trade you (or your kids - and hubby too, I guess) for anything in the world.
Don't give up on me.
Love always,
Your Single, Childless Best Friend
