Happy Birthday MBMK!
"A friend is, as it were, a second self." Cicero .
I've started to write this email at exactly 15.08 EST, meaning it is 8 hours and 52 minutes until you turn 18, according to my time time. Okay, so over there inCalifornia you've got like 11 hours and a bit, but whatever. Seeing as I didn't get your letter posed on time (yeah I did actually write you a birthday letter), I wanted to send you a birthday email, but I have this problem. Normally I'm incredibly articulate - I always know how to phrase what I want to say, but with you...with you, there are so many things I want to say to you, that I never know how to phrase. You mean the world to me, and it scares me shitless that I could do something to mess it all up, but believe me, I am trying my hardest not to.
It's been just over a year since I got that first lovely comment from you, and since then we have had our ups and our downs, and I think when it comes to you I have very nearly experienced every emotion it is possible for a human to experience. And that's a good thing. I've got to know almost as well as, if not as well as, I could have done if you'd been living next door to me my whole life, and I love everything about you. There is not one thing about you as my friend that I would change.
We both have so much shit going on in our lives that sometimes I think it is a miracle we've made it as far as we have, but we have been there for each other for almost 14 months solid now, with some arguing (go us!) and what a hell of a 14 months they've been. I don't know if they've made me stronger, or weaker, but it doesnt matter, because whatever they've done to me, they've kept us friends, and that is more important than how strong I am.
This isn't going to be the longest letter, because I don't want to say too much, seeing as you will have a letter coming your way as soon as I get my butt down to the post office. I just wanted to say that I love you unconditionally, and I hope you have a great birthday. I shall toast to you first thing when I am still awake tomorrow morning at 3am because by then you will be legal (inquebec .)
Happy Birthday Brandy.
