This post was supposed to come y'day but I just couldn't manage to get it right. Finally I decided the best way to do this was to keep it simple.

If someday any of you come across a person who accepts you precisely for who you are without ever questioning anything that you do, count yourself very, very lucky. If you ever find a person who is there to listen, give advice and console every single time you have a problem in your life without ever asking for anything in return, count yourself very, very lucky. If this person sticks with you through the stupidest decisions of your life and always stands by you no matter what stunts you pull off, count yourself very, very lucky. If you are loved unconditionally for being who you are, count yourself very, very lucky.

If you forget someone's birthday 3 years in a row and only remember 4 or 5 days later (if that) yet that person still considers you a good friend, count yourself very, very lucky.

I'm a very, very lucky man!

You never asked anything of me. You've never questioned me or judged me. You've always been there for me. You've been the best friend anyone could ever hope to have. I respect, love and worship you for the person that you are. Of all the people I have ever known in my entire life, you are the one person I am most grateful for--simply because if not for a weird twist of Fate, we would never have gotten to know each other. Without your amazing sense of humor and self-confidence, you would never have been able to befriend me despite the things I said to you.

Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ever ask for.

Happy Birthday, Aatekah. Atleast this year I remembered on time. =D
