To my best friend

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. A bunch about who means the most to me, and I think I have finally realized who holds the most weight in my heart at this point in time, and who has for quite some time. I have suffered though having him in my life since day one, like legit day one, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I traveled to visit my brother at James Madison University Thursday night until Friday afternoon to see him present his Senior Capstone Presentation and as I spent time with him it clicked in my head how much a minute with him clears all my worries because I remember that I will always have family. Thanks for being the brother any little sister could only wish for. Being less than a year apart we have spent a lot of our lives at the same phase of life, your finishing college this year, and I'm beginning the end of my college career. I turn 21 on August 11th and until the 17th we get to be twins and be 21 together. I have no doubt that you are on your way to doing big things, especially after seeing you so passionate about your presentation on Friday, and I too hope that I will be going on to big things after this last year at Longwood. You have been my best friend my entire life, when I have no one to go to, when I just need a good laugh, when I just need people to hang out with (I invite myself to hang out with your friends probably way too often), when I need to remember that family is where it all began, I look to you. While I still have no idea what lacritin is after Friday, I can say that I sure wish I did so I could understand what all that smart stuff that was coming out of your mouth meant. Thanks for always being my best friend. Thanks for being the one person that no matter what can make me laugh. Thanks for being my family. Thanks for being Codes when all I need is a pick me up from my brother. My family means the world to me, and I wouldn't trade every second that I can have with them for anything in the world. Sometimes when you're in a rough spot you need to sit back and realize what at that point in time means the most to you. While I have a crap ton that I am thankful for, at this moment, I am extremely thankful for Codes. While you had no choice, thanks for being my brother, and best friend.
To my reader, I ask you, who or what means the most to you? Have you told them lately? If not, go ahead tell them, they deserve to know.
