I’d try as much as I could to make her smile but at the same time I didn’t want to be overbearing. Having to see her go through that taught me to be hopeful. Even after having to go through that twice she always has a smile on her face and she didn’t use it as an excuse to stop trying but instead to try harder. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, but if they’re strong enough they can battle through it. It taught me that not every bad situation has to have a bad outcome. It taught me that I have the strongest, kindest best friend in the world and I should never let her
