Katie Bak

Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to tell you about someone who has been one of the greatest influences in my life.

Her name is Katie Bak.

She has reddish/brown hair, gorgeous blue eyes and a smile that can make anyone’s day. She's the girl that everyone envy's, but she is too humble to see. She holds self confidence, beauty and 100 years of wisdom inside of her, and has limitless love to give. She listens without judgment, and gives advice with care. She is one of the only people I know that has a heart completely in the right place….

She is the only person I would ever let get away with running over my mailbox with a car!

I have known Katie since elementary school, so about 9 years. I remember we used to play with each other’s hair in fifth grade during reading time. I used to call her all of the time in middle school because it felt like she was the only one who would ever listen without arbitrating me. In the beginning of high school, we rode the bus to school together, and shared my iPod, and listened to sappy love songs or totally obnoxious music.

But as time progresses, things change. Katie is now graduating early from high school a year before her grade, and is going to be attending BYU in Utah. She leaves in eight days, and I wanted a way to tell her how much I love her, and how much I appreciate everything that she has done for me. 

Katie, the brightest things are in store for you. Your future will be filled with the most wonderful things, things that you have always wanted. Life will bring you happiness, bliss and the purest of love. You deserve every bit of happiness that this world has to offer and everyone who knows you agrees with that. So here is to you, Katie! I am going to miss you so much, and I'm so happy and proud of you! This is a pretty lame "little gift" for you but, I'm a broke teenager and nothing that I would have bought for you would be able to tell you how much I love and will miss you.

Whenever you hear this song, it's God sending it to you, with love from me.

Thank you for always being there. Be safe. I love you.

Ps: Katie inspired me to restart my blog through her amazing one called: Let it be like breathing. For those of you, who don't know me or her personally, check it out and you'll see her beauty show through her writing!

We're all friends forever
