An open letter to my best friend

I think I kinda have lots of best friends.  When I was little I really really wanted one true "best" friend who thought I was her best friend too.  And we could buy a plastic heart shaped necklace that split into two pieces and one girl could have "best" and the other got "friend".... or BE, FRI and ST, ENDS..... Anyway, the closest thing I got was in 2nd grade when I became really good friends with a girl in my class named Brittney.  She and I had the same coat with fur on the hood, except hers was light blue and mine was pink.  Then 3rd grade came and we grew apart.  Then I got older and had lots of other friends, but nobody to call my best friend.  But then I met my future hubbs, and my life got better than it was before. So, even though it's cheesy, here goes:

Mike,
Thanks for being my best friend.  You are the one I want to spend all my free time with.  You're the one I laugh the most with.  You me for who I am and loves me for my flaws.  I'd rather hang out and talk with you than anyone.  And, even if we're doing nothing, it's still fun. 
Remember that time we had a baby girl?  That was super cool.  And the time we had a baby boy?  Also super cool. 
I'm glad that you're you and that we get to be besties. 
Much love,
Wendell
