Everyone has that forever friend- the one who you can think back to memories with as far as you can remember and they were always by your side. The bond between a childhood best friend is an unbreakable and unforgettable one, and it’s one to always be thankful for. So, here’s to you best friend! 10. Thanks for always being willing to make my enemies your own No matter who it is or what they have or haven’t done to you, with us it’s always been a package deal. They hate you, I hate them. They love me, they damn well better love you too because we go together no matter what. 9. Thanks for never failing to make me laugh when all I want to do is cry Between the breakups, fights with family, mental breakdowns and all of the rest of life’s inevitable, you were always the one holding my
