Kindred Spirits

A bosom friend - an intimate friend, you know - a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inmost soul.

-- Lucy Maud Montgomery

I am not sure how I ever came to deserve my best friend April, because she truly is the one I feel is my bosom friend, the friend I can confide my inmost soul to. A phrase I often hear from April is "I am such a horrible friend", well Ape-Ape I'm here to say otherwise! I truly feel you do all you can to be the best friend I could ask for.
April realizes that neither of us are great at distance and keeping our friendship strong, but she is always willing to do more, and that isnt limited to when we are far apart. When I had my wisdom teeth taken out April was there with supplies to heal, and the laughter to comfort me. When I turned 18 she spent the entire day with me doing the things I like to do, starting with my favorite drink from sonic and ending with movies! If you knew April then, you would understand how much she would rather be doing so many other things, but she gives in that department in our friendship, together she will watch movies. April forgave me when I dated the boy she liked. Although it was rough for  a while the two of us valued the friendship more than any boy! April was the first person I saw when coming home from a long six months in England. Moments after saying hello to my family there was a knock at the door, but there was no pause because our bond picked up right where it left off.
April is there through the good and the bad the happy and the sad. I have always treasured the letters we exchanged as young girls, and the thoughtful pictures on birthdays. She knows my likes and my dislikes. She understands me better than anyone could, sometimes I feel she even knows me better than I know myself.
Tonight though, at 2:30am I have to write because what truly takes the cake today is that from all the way in Ohio, she sends me a text telling how great I am and how beautiful I am and that SHE loves ME! I felt so much love. Here I am thinking she is an example to me and she goes and does yet another amazing thing for me, for how could she know I was having a rough night? In all the years we have been friends she has always been one for an early bedtime yet in Ohio she sent me that text at 3am not realizing the impact it will have on its recipient.
So to April Turner, thank you! Thank you for every little thing you have done for me. Thank you for the happiness you have brought to my life, for I know that I will always have someone I love that loves me equally as much! I hope that I have been able to be at least half as good of a friend as you have been to me! I cannot wait to grow old together and for our children to be friends, and for us to rock on the porch laughing about the good old days. Reminiscing on all the laughs and joy we shared!
Although Taylor's words were meant in a different context:

"Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I"
