You are kind and honest. Ethical in a way that most are not. You are charming and a wonderful conversationalist. Unapologetically nerdy. Forgiving and affectionate. Intelligent and funny. Anxious about everything. Self-aware in a way I will always admire. An excellent physician. One of my most treasured friends.

Though at times mildly selfish and hot-headed. Whiny. A bit of an asshole, if we‘re being completely honest. 

The peace I feel, even in your absence, I have never felt with anyone. I thought that distance would surely come between us, but somehow I feel closer to you. I know you’ll never read this, but I had to let the universe know how grateful I am for allowing our paths to cross. I am a better me for knowing you.
