Danny Boy:

I am going to miss you very much. I didn't think it was going to affect me much until I watched you leaving Denny's. I cannot believe I've only known you for a year. You were the first person I really talked to when I started working at Baskin Robbins because we were so similar. I was really intimidated by everyone there because everyone was already friends. Emily was nice to me, but she still had that polite small-talk attitude. Isaias didn't talk to me at all, and I felt really uncomfortable and awkward around Katelyn and Jacci. Emma and Becca were nice people, and I did have Matt, but it still felt really strange trying to inject myself into a group of people who were already close-knit. But my first day, you told me I was fired because I accidentally dropped a scoop on the ground and you made fun of me. That's how our strange dynamic started, and it made me feel a lot better about my job. I'll always owe you for that.

Even when you irritated me, I still really liked you as a person. You're still one of the funniest people I have ever met, and you're one of the few people in my life that a connection came effortless with. I'll miss our hour-long chit chats on the benches outside of Baskin Robbins after closing shifts. What you wrote about me in that letter was incredibly sweet. I'll miss you very much, and I hope you have a good time living in Indy. I'm sure you will! You're smart and talented and funny and you'll be a great addition to wherever you go.

I hope I get to visit you on your birthday! 

Stay gold.
