You are amazing.

I was going through all the photos from Chicago, for this post, and of course I started tearing up. I miss you so much. I’m sitting here and I’m thinking that anything I say will never do enough justice to explain to the world not only how much I love you, but how amazing of a person you are. But I don’t think I need to do that.

You shine. From first impression, you can stop a room in its tracks. The second you walked into the lobby of the Sheraton, I knew. I turned towards the door and there you were, and I just took a second and I stared because I had to etch that memory into my brain. After we hugged, we just launched into conversation like we had left it behind only minutes before and we were just picking up right where we left off. The whole weekend was like that.

We have this knack for finding each other when we need each other the most and I can’t ever tell you how grateful I am for you. Yes, you stress me out. Yes, you make me want to shake you sometimes. But damn it Maria, I just can’t quit you. I’d never want to because you’ve always loved me, you’ve always held my hand, and you never let my secrets shock you, when you weren’t busy calling me out on them first. You can read me like a damn book. Thank goodness because you make it easier for me to just let it all out because you don’t need an explanation.

I miss you friend. I want you to start embracing these scary things called birthdays because the more time that passes, the more memories we get a chance to make.

Because who else could make this look as damn good as it does?

That’s straight gangster…ish.

Enjoy your third 23rd birthday beauty. You are timeless.
