I’ve been with my best friend for a year now. Today felt kind of like a birthday. Where you wake up knowing that it is a special day, but it feels like any other day. I found that actually comforting in a way. That even though today was our one year anniversary, we could act with each other the way we do every day. A nap on the couch, making Ratchet and Clank and Skyrim jokes, laughing at stupid pictures, homework… All of our normal things that we do practically every day. All of it reassures me that Brian is my best friend and we haven’t changed over this past year. A year ago things were vastly different and I’ve had him with me through all of the changes. I am so thankful. For him, for everything that he does for not just me, but my family as well. He is one of the best people I know.
He also surprised me today after school by picking me up when he normally can’t and then when he gave me a present for our anniversary. It was a ring. It was beautiful. A little big, but it’s getting resized. I just have to be patient. I absolutely love it.

When he handed it to me, he was a nervous ball of energy and wasn’t acting like himself. It was so silly, but he promised me so much as well. How he would continue to be my best friend. I hope nothing changes that. I can’t believe how lucky I am.
