Letter # 2 Chloe

Chloe, my love-

Who would have ever thought we'd be best friends? What two children could be more different? But growing up with you has been one of the best gifts in my life because you have been my rock. I know you say I am yours but you have kept me grounded when my life fell apart. I don't know where I would be without you. No matter how crappy my day is, or how upset or angry I am or hating the world, you always are there for me. To listen to me rant, to let me cry on your should when I needed you the most, and the rest of the world walked out on me. You were there the moment my world came crashing down, and you are the only one who saw my pain that day. I know we never talk about it, but it is something I always remember. But I don't think we could find more different best friends. I was practically a boy, in my oversized t-shirts, knee high socks and boy hair cuts who could name any fact about goats, dogs or horses. (god help me) and you in your preppy polos and skirts, and packing on make-up the second you got a chance. It was you sole goal to make me wear a dress and look at us now.  If it were not for countless hours at family functions I doubt we would even be friends. Do you remember how much we hated one another when we were little? We finally found a mutual love of horses and you brought me into the world of fashion and I brought you into the world of well...weird organic foods and hippie incense haha. You are one of the strong most beautiful person I know. You stood by me and my lowest point and never left my side, and when I couldn't celebrate my 16th birthday because of unfortunate circumstances? You planned a surprise 16 1/2. Who does that? An angel perhaps. Chloe, you have always made me feel welcomed among your friends, and I cannot wait for us to get back for Thanksgiving and share everything. I miss you so terribly darling. Thank you for being a part of my life.
Love your cousin,
Lizzy
