Grateful for my best friend. via /r/gratitude

Her name is Abby. I'm so grateful to have met her 8 months ago. We live 5000 miles away but she is always there for me. We talk about anything, we spend great times talking.
In 8 months she never made me feel bad, she never hurt me. Except for one time where she gave me and advice, hurting me. I didn't follow that advice and after 3 months I ended up saying "You were right". She always wanted the best for me, she cares about me and she is the greatest friend I've ever had. She is literally my best friend.
She is always ready to help, ready to give me advices, ready to listen me complaining and she always gives me a shoulder to cry on.
I suffer from depression and right now I'm still trying to recover from a break up, the first break up of my life. She is being the biggest help I've had from anyone, even just talking to her helps me.
Today she made me cry. She made me cry tears of joy for some words she said. Those are just words, but they means so much for me coming from her that I cried. I never cried for anything like that. Today I realized she is the only person in my life that actually understands me, that never judges me, that always supports me and that always says words that give me strength.
Apart from all she does everyday, 8 months ago when we first met, she literally saved my life. She didn't even know at that time, but she just made me get out of the worst moment of my life. She helped me to start living again.
She is the greatest friend I could wish for. Unfortunately I can't hug her, but maybe one day we'll meet and I'll give her the biggest hug ever so I can show my gratitude to her.
I'll be grateful to her for the rest of my life. She is amazing.

Abby if you're reading this, I just needed to express my gratitude for the wonderful person you are. Thank you for everything. Ti voglio bene🫂
