00:30A letter to my best friend Garland
00:31Where to even begin
00:32Let me start this off by simply saying I love you
00:35I probably don't say it as much as I should, but here it is
00:38It is hard to pick just one thing to say
00:39other than thank you for making me a stronger person
00:42Thank you for being the wonderful person you are
00:45We've been through so much
00:46And meeting you changed my life forever
00:48You were this snot-nosed third grader with an oversized Pokemon shed
00:52It was like Christmas when you get a new puppy
00:56But instead I got someone I could call my best friend
00:58My little brother
01:00It wasn't until we wrote that short play that I realized
01:02This is a person I need to stay around
01:04This is someone who makes me better
01:05From that moment on it was pretty safe to say it was going to be the two of us forever
01:09And all the small victories I've had over the years may have never happened without your support
01:14I laugh louder, I smile harder, I'm home
01:18I think what tied our bond forever though is when you decided that I was the friend that you would
01:23call to tell your biggest secret to
01:24Throughout everything in my life that has changed, rearranged, and flipped upside down
01:29You are the constant
01:30Garland, your testimony is one of the most powerful things I have ever heard
01:35See that, honey?
01:36I thought it was going to be
01:38I am so proud of this amazing person you have become and continue to be
01:45During one of the most difficult times of my life, you were the life I needed in that very moment
01:50You are an inspiration to my life and I could have never made it to where I am without you
01:54being there for me
01:55So many ways
01:56You helped me to keep fighting
02:01To keep pushing to get out and try each day
02:03You've been the legs to my broken heart
02:05Pushing me through and carrying me on
02:08For that I owe you my life
02:09Thank you for always setting me straight
02:11Being the family that I needed through those times and not giving up on me
02:15You continue to challenge me
02:16To face the parts of myself that I love, that I hate, and that I want to be
02:22You have seen me at my worst and have brought me to my best
02:26But you are forever and always a part of me
02:29You anchor me in my true self
02:31You make me feel loved
02:33You are my brother
02:34I love you
02:39Uh, that was written by my best friend Haley
02:46My best friend Angela, she wrote this letter
02:48My best friend Melvin
02:49My best friend Diana wrote this letter
02:54They ain't got me in tears over here
02:55Oh my god, I fucking love you
03:01I needed that, thanks
03:03I love you too
03:05I love you too
03:06I love you too
03:34Grazie a tutti.
