Unsent Letters: Day 1

Today is the day! Of course I procrastinated til the evening to start this, but I am here to start my month of "Unsent Letters."

Day 1 - Your Oldest Friend

*Sidenote* I have to complicate everything so I'm guessing I could either a.) write to the friend I've had for the longest time or b.) write to the friend who is the eldest of them all. I'm going to shake things up and go with b. The only issue is, I don't really know who my friend with the most life experience is. I've decided not to include family for this so that narrows it down to a couple people but since I honestly don't know exact ages I've chosen the one who I know will not read this because, duh, it's supposed to be an unsent letter.

Also, I won't use her real name because I know she would want it that way.

Dear Friend,
You have taught me many things and are someone who (whom?) I deeply admire. I admire how carefully you think things through and the cautious way you make decisions. I often wish I weren't so impulsive and could be more thoughtful about my own choices. I appreciate your dedication to planning and organization and hope that someday I can at least be half as organized as you so that I'm not always a hot mess living in chaos!
Though we don't always agree on things, I appreciate your ability to listen and disagree without being judgmental. In my opinion, you are a wonderful example of a Christian woman who is not a hypocrite which has not been easy to find in my experience. I pray that I treat others with the same respect and compassion that you do.
I admire your level of committment to all that you do and the people you love. You always give 150%, if not more, to the things and people you care about.
I could certainly go on, but I know you're not comfortable with recognition or praise such as this. I'll end by saying that you are truly one of the classiest woman I know and I feel absolutely blessed to have you as a role model!
Thank you for everything,
Me

1st letter was easy enough. Now that that is finished, I can move on to other important things like Jersey Shore. Attempted to watch the premiere - couldn't hold my attention so I didn't really watch it. That's all the info I need to know that I probably will never get into it. On that happy note, I am off to bed!
