And your friendship is one of them. YOU are very important to me... I think of you as my sister, only without the sibling rivalry. :)
Please forgive me when I speak out of turn. I really only ever mean well, especially when it comes to you. I forget, sometimes, that blatant honesty can be hurtful, and that I don't have to speak EVERYTHING that's on my mind.
I'm going to try and watch that, in the future. Don't get me wrong... I will still ALWAYS be honest with you - as I hope you will always be honest with me. But, I will be mindful of saying only what is really useful to share with you, when it comes to my personal opinions of things... and when it's best to hold my tongue.
Regardless of what might happen between us in the future, please know that our friendship will live on forever in my heart. I believe you feel the same way. We do, after all, often think alike. :)
I love you dearly, my awesomely wonderful sister... and this I know, without a doubt, to be right.

I hope you will read the following quotes and really try to understand the importance of being tolerant, and knowing the difference between a situation that calls for a confrontation and one that should simply be dismissed as an act of thoughtless stupidity on the part of the offender. I hope never to see, or even remotely be part of, such a spectacle again, unless it's warranted.
