This may or may not be the cheesiest post I've ever written, but that's a chance I'm willing to take. Today is my best friend's 24th birthday and I want to celebrate 20 years of friendship.
I am blessed enough to have so many amazing, loyal friends, but Ms. Caitlin McSherry takes the cake (haha, get it? cake. it's your birthday). For 20 years she has been by my side helping me get through tough situations, family problems, heartbreaks, etc. For 20 years she has been making me laugh and adding constant joy.
For the past five years we have been in a long distance friendship, but her loyalty and charismatic spirit have yet to falter. She has visited me in every obscure place I've moved too (even if she had to fly out in a blizzard and stay for less than 36 hours) and supported every crazy dream I've had.
She is also a part of my favorite memories. From dancing on the boardwalk and making complete fools of ourselves, to getting in trouble at 2:00 in the morning for calling boys in elementary school(shout out to MC and TP), to going on family vacations together, to sharing Christmas mornings together, I can truly say you are my second sister (and my whole family agrees).
Even if you do feed me syrup-covered ants I will always love you and be thankful for you. You are my rock and have kept me sane through the years. Happy 24th birthday--here's to many, many more years of a perfect friendship.
Boop!
