A tribute to my best friend...

My hats off to you my best friend. You are the first person I think of in the morning and the last person I pray for in the evening before I lay my head to rest. You were there for me during the hard times and during the fun times too. Sometimes you weren't able to be there for me ( I know this contradicts what I just said) but this was not your fault. You have worked hard to make sure that I am taken care of. You always put my needs before your own. You love me no matter what, unconditionally. You smile at me as though I were special. You scold me when I need to be scolded. You listen to me when I go on, and on, and on, and on, and on...see what I mean. You make me laugh when all I want to do is cry. You make me cry with your kindness and concern. Many people go a lifetime and never know what it is to have a best friend. I have been fortunate to have many close, faithful friends...but I have to say my one true best friend is you Louis. You have lived with me longer than I lived with my parents. It has been almost 20 years. Time flies my friend and I am eagerly awaiting your arrival back home. It has been a long time....almost a year. We have some catching up to do....I miss you!
