It's About Graditude

Dear Elliot,

          I was asked to write a note of gratitude to someone that has had influence on my life, so I chose you. You'll probably argue that it's the other way around; that I've had more influence on you, because that's just the way you are. You're nice and you're generous and you underestimate the effects you have on people. You have no idea how much you've influenced me. I'm not one to share my problems very openly, but whenever I am willing to share, you drop everything and just listen. You have always supported me and pushed me to do my best. I rely on you more than I'd like to admit, but you know what? I'm alright with that because I know with you, I have a solid shoulder to lean on. You've helped me through so much and I can't thank you enough! I could go on for pages, but I'll save that for when I get a chance to talk to you in person. I hope I'm at least as half of a good friend to you, as you are to me.

          Your friend, Nadia
