I'm Feeling a Bit Challenged

So my cousin wrote in his blog about a challenge he has accepted that goes like this: for 30 days you write a letter per day. These letters are to various people in your life according to the handy list provided in the challenge. It's up to you how deep you go in the letter or whether you send it, but the challenge is to BLOG it. I think I'm up to this challenge. (Email me to request the list)
I don't promise it will be very interesting reading to anyone but the intended recipient, but here goes!

Letter 1: To My Best Friend
We met so long in the past that it seems you've always been there. You've definitely been there for all of the important stuff: the mistakes I've made, the ones I haven't made (partly due to your advice), the ups, the downs, the good, the bad, and the incredibly ugly.
You know me better than I know myself. You know what I'll do or say, sometimes before I do. You are my best mirror; the one I use to see the truth of my own heart.
We've been through so much together, even when we were far apart. We've shared joy and laughter, sorrow and tears, faith and failure. It's been so GOOD to have you in my life as my sister and my friend.
You're the one I can always count on: to be there when I'm hurting, to catch me when I fall, to laugh with me, cry with me, and tell it like it is for my own good - in the positives as well as the negative areas of my life.
It's good to know that there is one person in my life who will never leave me, never cease to love me; whom I can never offend, because she knows my heart and knows I would never mean to hurt her.
And the thing I love about you most, best friend, is that you GET me. You think I'm funny, even when no one else does. We share so much of our past that we don't even have to speak to know what the other is thinking.
God has been good to give me a friend like you and I need to remember to thank Him more often for you.
I love you. Thank you for being you.
