Dear AF

Although I haven't known you for that long, I am very grateful to call you one of my close friends here in this city. I respect your work ethic and also your dedication to your faith. I appreciate how we both share a similar sense of humor. I can always count on you to also not know what's going on in pop-culture or TikTok LOL. Anyways, the reason I'm writing to you is because recently your actions spoke a thousand words and I wanted to tell you. I had a big life event, which all my closest friends knew about. I feel so loved knowing that you all are very supportive. However, I want you to know that you choosing to stay by my side until I needed to go was a small action that meant so much to me. I didn't think such an action would make such a big impact on me, because I feel like I'm usually indifferent on whether I have company or not. But you sitting by me felt like a supportive hand on my back to reassure me that you don't plan on leaving. I told you, "You don't have to," but you told me "I want to." I'm so grateful for you, truly.
