I’m grateful for your laugh.
I’m grateful for your smile.
It’s been a perplexing year, but you’ve made it worthwhile.

I’m grateful for your willingness to never give up.
I’m grateful for your strength when times get tough.

I’ve built the courage to do things I normally wouldn’t do.
I played a small part, but I’d like to personally thank you!

Thank you for helping my heart shine through when I struggled to be at my best.
Thank you for allowing me to learn more about myself when my heart was put to the ultimate test.

It’s pretty cool to know that I’ve been a reflection of you all this time.
You’ve been a true friend I can always count on when I felt like my life wasn’t mine.

Thank you for helping me fall in love with who I am despite all my flaws.
Life was scary without you before, but now I happily stand tall.

I don’t know if I should laugh or cry because I’ve been through so much.
I promise to give it my all this time, even when things feel out of touch.

I won’t always show up at my best, but I feel better knowing you understand.
You’re my forever safe space, and I’ll always choose you to hold my hand.

In a way, it’s bittersweet because I never saw this coming!
Looks like you and I are finally on the brink of something.

Thanks again for helping me see the brighter side of life, even when I didn’t feel so free.
I’m so grateful to have someone on my side who loves me just for me.

Thanks to you, I can be vulnerable and express myself, free of shame.
You’re the greatest gift of all, a genuine best friend who shares my name.

Alexis, you’re perfect just the way you are. Don’t ever change!
You taught me how to value myself in the most humbling way.
