Hello once again! As we prepare to part ways in a few hours, I felt like I should tell you how I feel about you. We've been together now for 10 years, and I've gotten so comfortable around you that I sometimes took you for granted. Yet, you still remained with me.
Now as I prepare to meet 30's, I can't help but remember all that we've been through together. It's been a pretty up and down ride, full of twists, turns, and sometimes some free-fall moments. There have been some huge milestones: 3 college graduations, marriage, weight loss (then gain and lose again), and some faith tests along the way. I grew up with you. When I started this journey with you, I was naive, childish, and carefree. Nowadays, I have experience, memories, and have grown up A LOT!! This has been a decade of change. Nevertheless, I always could count on you to remain constant. You were there.
In a couple hours you and I must part ways, never to meet again except in fond remembrances. I'll be embarking on a new journey, full of new memories and surprises. Don't worry - you'll always be a part of me, and I will miss you terribly. 30's will be good to me (so I'm told), so I'm looking forward to making a new friend.
To the many, many memories, trials, and high points,
Josh
