Well, in two months. But she's no longer a high schooler! Time to join the big leagues. =P Okay, I can't really say that - she's only 3 months younger than I am haha.
Clarie, I can honestly, wholeheartedly say that you are my absolute best friend (and twin sister!). We've been through so much together, and I absolutely love how we'll spontaneously go out for Yogurtland or to the mall, or just to hang. (I mean, today was a pretty good example of that haha.) From Colorguard to random spirit days, having you fracture your pinkie, our anti-homecoming plans, Quickly's runs and marveling at the comfy-ness of guy clothing... We have countless memories together. So much of who I am today has been shaped by your part in my life.
I still can't believe how blessed I am to be able to call you my best friend. I know I can get pretty annoying at times, especially since we tend to have mini-arguments pretty often (usually because I'm super stubborn), but you're always so understanding. You're insanely funny and absolutely crazy, and you have one of the kindest hearts I've seen. I love your randomness and our crazy antics (you're usually up to do something completely out there with me)! I know you're independent and hate to burden others, but don't keep it all to yourself! I want to be there for you, so do me a favor and tell me if something's wrong! I'm still super sorry I didn't make your graduation (I *really* wanted to take tons of pictures of you walking across that stage!), but you know what? I don't need to be at the ceremony to be proud of what you've accomplished and where you're going. I didn't need to see you get your diploma to know what you've accomplished, and where you're going.
You're an absolute inspiration to me. You've been through so much, and you've stayed so strong. I love who you are, and I love who you're going to be. I know you have a lot of worries about college, but like always, I'll be here if you ever need me for anything, and like always, you'll work everything out. =] Graduation's just another step in this wonderful journey, and while there will undoubtedly be rough patches - mud, mountains, marshland (yeah alliteration!) - I know you'll get through it. I'm so proud of you Clarie, I really am.
P.S. Thanks for all of the rides over the years. Once I get my license, *I'll* drive *you* around!
