to Iris

because of you I am a better me.
I can not imagine my life without you.
so many great things have evolved from our friendship
and that will not end.
even when we are far apart,
even if we live different lives
I can't and will not ever forget you,
because you have helped me find who I am,
you have helped shape who I am,
you make the impossible worth it.

whatever journey you take, keep in mind
that though I may not be presant or near,
I will always be cheering you on and trying
to be there for you when you need.
Iris, you are can be whoever you want to be
and I will still be your friend,
because you have made me realize
nothing has to be impossible.
someday when we are old, we are
going to look back on this and laugh
because deep down inside...
we knew this all along.

love Emma
