My dear Friend,
I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate you. I'm thankful that you are in my life. In what ways? You are always willing to chat with me, and we both seem to enjoy each other's company. When I'm lacking for words you find a way to inspire me.
I trust you with my secrets because I am an open book to you. I know that you will not judge and condemn me but always accept me for who I am. I know you are going to read this as I post it here, because I told all my friends about my blog and am not ashamed of anything I write here. This is another way that I show you that you can trust me, and that I am truly your friend. What I say about you in other circles is what I would say to your face. If it were not that way, then you wouldn't truly be my friend. I would be a fake friend. insincere. This is the same reason I can trust you, because I know you are not talking about me behind my back and we have earned each other's trust. I believe that is a key ingredient to our friendship.
Another thing I appreciate about you is that you don't judge and condemn me for my faults. But you are sure there to pick me up when I fall. Although we probably would not be friends for very long if I treated you badly, because in all friendships I realize we have to have respect for each other. I respect you and what you do and think you are doing a great job. Sometimes life gets tough and the world is a much better place with friends like you to share it with.
So, thanks again, and let's keep in touch, May you have the best new year of your life.
with love,
John
