That's what friends are for...

If we lose everyone else, you will still be my best friend.

I was recently married. Sorry I didn't tell you. You're my best friend

The person that ruined your life; I fucked them up and they have moved to Canada. You will not have a day in court, you will not be able to face them when you become a man. I did that for you because you are my best friend.

Did you win the baseball playoff game? Did you play? Sorry I didn't make it. You're my best friend

Good job scoring the touchdown man, that is great! Maybe I'll make the next game. You're my best friend.

Thanks for understanding I'm not into basketball as much as you which is why I didn't make a game. You're my best friend.

I'm so proud of how you sacrificed and worked through your military training. I didn't make it to the graduation so your instructors could tell me how you graduated in the top 1%. I'm lucky to have a best friend like you.

Congratulations on your first born son! Sorry I couldn't make it out for the birth as I had other things going on. I'm happy for you because you are my best friend.

I know you said to be sure to make it out for your daughters birth but, due to the difficulties with the pregnancy and the nature of her handicap, I thought it would be better to give you space instead of support. Let me know if you need anything because you're my best friend.

A second son! I know you really wanted that I and am happy for you. I couldn't make it out for the birth because of so many things going on here. Just know I'm happy for you because you are my best friend.

I've been sick for some time now. I've had a relapse of skin cancer and the head injury I suffered is really affecting me. I know that I don't tell you anything about my ailments, even when you ask, but just know that it is because I don't want to burden you. I keep these things from you because you are my best friend.

One more thing and don't ever forget this, I love you man.

I love you too dad.

    Just in the way you wrote this, not only did i have it figured out by the 4th paragraph, but definitely felt your disappointment throughout.

    Love ya brother
