I’ve mentioned Samantha in my Thanks page. She’s one of the best friends I’ve ever had, and it’s her birthday today, so I thought I’d dedicate this post to her.

So, to Samantha:

Thanks for all your encouragement. Thanks for standing by me throughout the years, and being there for me no matter what. I really appreciate all you’ve done. I know you may not think of it as much, but it means a lot to me. Just the simple things like you asking how I’m doing, knowing that you still do think of me at times and all, it means a lot to me. So thank you. You’ve made a huge difference in my life, through the simple gestures and the little things that you’ve done for me.

You’ve already changed my life, and I’m sure you’ve touched and changed the lives of many others as well. You truly have the potential for greatness, and I hope (rather, I believe), that as you grow you’ll continue to develop and realize that potential. I’m sure you’ll go on to touch many more lives.

Thank you for all you’ve done, you’re an awesome person and it’s a huge honor to have you as my friend. Happy Birthday.
