My Dearest,
Remember when we played school, and you swatted me so hard I couldn't breathe? Remember when you threw yourself off a tree higher than your house and yelled, "Wonder Woman!" We were an odd couple to become so close. We fought right before you got married, some 25 years ago. I was scared that you were leaving me. I was scared we would stop being best friends. We stuck it through that time and our friendship became stronger.
I miss you my dearest friend. I have missed you for a long time. It's been about a year since our argument. You set me straight when you let me know I wasn't your only friend. I never pretended to be your only friend. I loved you like a sister. When your husband hurt you, I wanted to take your pain away. I wanted to erase him from your life. However, you chose to stay and I respected your decision. I heard you cry, I tried to help, but somehow the pain he caused you drew us apart. I think I was a constant reminder that you were not happy.
I wrote to you this past Christmas. Every day that passed and you didn't answer was excruciating. I thought, atleast she'll say Merry Christmas. I never thought much of friends, because they come and go. However, you were my soul sister, my everything. We had been together, though near or far. I miss you. I really do miss you. I never imagined my life without you. We said we would grow old together, remember? I remember. I remember you and I at Hallmark reading greeting cards together, laughing until our stomachs hurt. Even now over 20 years later, that day brings a smile to my face. We were certifiable, but we spent so many great times together. I wonder what you are doing now. I wonder how you are. I figured we would be talking soon, and now a year has come and gone. My dearest friend, my dearest sister, I miss you so very much.
Your sister...
