#100HappyDays Day 5

When I moved away from home, I thought to myself that within 12 months, I would have very few friends.  I was sure that I would lose touch with all friends back home and I'd just move on.  It scared me deep in my bones that I'd be alone, but I accepted that I was moving with my family and I would never actually be alone.  Little did I know the faith I had in my friends back home was much less than they deserved.  Today I found my happiness in a 3 1/2 hour conversation with my best friend, Amanda!

This girl has made me so mad, so happy, so sad, and so fulfilled in our 22 years of life together.  Most of the time in life, you don't expect to find and keep your best friend in 2nd grade, but I am happy to say that this is our case.  She has always accepted who I am, even when I didn't see the person she saw.  The times where I'm being a complete A-hole, she knows she can be honest and bust me down a bit, but we will make it through and be closer on the other side.

I am truly the lucky one in this friendship.  Thank you so much for being there for me, even when I left you and move MANY hours away.  I could not have asked for a better best friend.
