Rachey, Rachey, Rachey, i've been racking my brain trying to sum up how much you mean to me. I'm not an amazing writer like you, not even a half decent one, but the one thing that always helps me is music. I think Not Alone by Red has got this one.

I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you, I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
'Cause you're not, you're not alone

To me, Not Alone is all about being there in the bad times as well as the good. It's about how when things get tough for you, you hold on tight to things that matter (and vise versa). I know there's nothing that would break our friendship, not even you shipping arseface Logan with Rory ;) You have been there for me in some really awful times and I will always do the same to you. You're a rock!! You put a smile on my face or bitch with me when I need it, and I really appreciate it. You're one of the strongest, beautiful, frustrating, smart, creative, obsessive, kind, and damn right funny people I have ever known. I'm so lucky to have you as one of me closest friends. I hope that one day you'll believe in yourself as much as I believe in ya.

I'll be awaiting my dedication in your many, many books.

I love you Lily!

Love,
Laurie xx

[P.S. I hope you have an amaaaaazing birthday!! You deserve it!]

[P.P.S. Sorrry if that was mushy :P]
