From Me To You, My Friend...Thank You || [WE-130]
In a world where people now have terrible memories and have lost the ability to remember kindness shown to them, being and remaining good is a question of certainty.
However, there are some remarkable people who choose to deviate from the norms and take the stand to actually be kind. You, my friend, are one of such people, and this is an epistle of gratitude from me to you.
I know you often think you are not strong and that your emotions make you weak. But I'd like to remind you that you are one of the strongest people I know. You have feelings and thoughts that are selfless, genuine, and gentle.
I have known you for almost a year now, but in that time, what I have confidently come to realize is that you are an amazing person inside and out. Never would I have thought I would meet a person like you again, as I do have amazing people (not so many, actually) like you.
You came through for me—not once, not twice, but every time. It is not about the money you have given me, and neither is it about the food you have fed me. It is about how much attention, care, love, and kindness you have shown.
And this is not a one-to-one matter. I have witnessed you being good to people around you. You have a heart of gold, my friend, and I admire that.
There are not many people like you, and there never will be, but the few like you continue to make the world a better place in the little ways you show love.
We may not talk as frequently as we used to due to unforeseen circumstances now, but every thought of you reminds me that good people do exist—they're just hard to find.
They say distance is relative, and relative to how things are, I'd say kilometers are just figures and that we are never far away. You live rent-free in my heart.
I cherish you deeply and would like to take this moment to thank you for every moment we have shared—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Hmm, I love this appreciation letter to a friend you truly cherish in your heart and this is how it should always be like. Been appreciative of some kinds of people who have helped you in one way or the other.
This is how it should be, I guess: sharing how impactful people have been in our lives, how much we cherish them, and then celebrating them while they're here.
Exactly.
I think I have people like this who I would appreciate and even when all things weren't going right, they defied the odds to come through for me. In life, these people are the best especially in a world where there's a lot of fakery.
People like this are the type I do not joke with. They deserve everything and more, simply because they are real, loyal and amazing.
This letter is actually directed to a friend and it's exactly what I sent to her as a message. I do that sometimes. I hear it's his practice.
I'd say you've got yourself a good friend too, I don't joke with people like that. It's people like that, that makes you complete.
“Every thought of you reminds me that good people exist”
If anybody say this to me I’d melt 🥺
Lovely post Jay.
I would too!
Thank you, Winnie. Good to see you around.
Likewise Jay
This is such a sweet and affectionate letter for your friend, bro. if I were your friend, I appreciated this a lot. Real Friends are like a gem in the desert, they are hard to find but when you do, they are worth treasuring for life. !PIZZA
Good people as friends deserve to be appreciated and shown the love they give.
In actual sense, this is an excerpt of an appreciation message I sent to her a while back. She loved it and felt loved. In return, I felt fulfilled having expressed my thoughts.

Wow...I think I should adopt thus this method of appreciating my valued friends. It will really make a positive difference.
Glad I came across this post today..
Thanks, Jay
I should make an entry immediately as well 😇👍
I think when people that are good are duly appreciated, it goes a really long way in making them feel encouraged to keep being themselves -- real and kind.
I did send it to my friend and she totally loved it.
Wow... you are very right
Now, I am seeing another good side of engagement
I just learnt this from you today via engagement here
Isn't that amazing?
Thanks Jay 👍😘
That's one beautiful thing about engagement here on Hive. One just keeps learning new things through every conversation they have with people.
Could this person be me? After all, I know I have given you money or anything before 😁
😂
I wouldn't want to ruin the fun. It's less special if I spelled your name out.
Hehehehe .... I like the secrecy though 🙃
You see...just as you like it.
Your friend is so lucky to receive this, my friend. Honestly, I have not received letters from a friend in this generation, for everything comes in digital or somewhat techy. The last time I received a letter like this was way back in college, hehe. I hope this letter was for me. Have a great day, my friend, and be safe at all times.
🤭🤭 awwwww. Wahala for who no get friend laidis 🤧. I think this is the definition of friendship. Those are the people the Bible is referring to when it said a friend is for all times.
This is beautiful. Lemme gaan get my pen, no rest for my friends this month 😂🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
With good friends on our side, there's no limit to what we can achieve. Si when then should we not hold them close and shower them with appreciation? They deserve it.
I have met a lot of great people this year and I can't be too grateful for having them as friends.
This is so touching, you really cherish and appreciate your friend, you got me thinking about my dear friend.
Friends play a vital role in one's success. Why then would a person not hold them close?
Real friends but fake friends wants the downfall of thier friends and those types of friends are meant to be kept in a distance, but real friends will be always there both in time of distress and joyous occasion.
This is really nice. I have learnt to be so grateful in the past few years and this writing just remind me to show gratitude today.
This writing is really beautiful. Especially this ….
There are few people like that. We just have appreciate the ones we have.
My pastor would always say, especially every first Sunday of the month, that "Gratitude is a fragrance that opens doors for more." I have always held on to that, applied it and has been working for me ever since.
Additionally, I feel good when I am appreciated and shown gratitude. It's only fair to reciprocate love.
