HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, LILY!
Oh my God girl, I could go on for hours about how much I love you. I would've sent you Lily Collins for your birthday - but apparently taking people is illegal.
Anyways - we've known each other for such a long time. I had no idea when we first started talking how close we would become or how much you would mean to me. You've helped me move past some of the lowest points of my self esteem, you made sure that I knew I was loved no matter what.
You saw the good in me that I couldn't even see myself. You made me believe that I was a good person - despite what I was thinking at the time. No matter what happens I know that I can rely on you, you're one of the most genuine young ladies I've ever met.
You're wise beyond your years and so mature. We've had so many laughs together and shared so much, I am so thankful to have you in my life. You're like a sister to me, my family.
I hope you know how much I love you.
And I will always be here for you, no matter what.
Happy birthday beautiful. Here's to another year of making me so proud to know you.
