You know that one best friend you’ve always had and hopefully will have forever? The person that makes you laugh, the person that cheers you up when you’re down. Here are a sample of letters to your best friend to relive the memories you had with them.
Letter To Best Friend About Memories
Dear [best friend name],
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate you. You are the best friend anyone could ever ask for, and it’s been such a joy getting to know you over these last few years.
You’re always there when I need you, and that means so much to me. You’ve helped me through some tough times, and we’ve both had plenty of laughs together as well!
I’m so grateful for all the memories we’ve shared together over the years. The ones that stand out most in my mind—the first time we went camping together, driving up to the mountains for a weekend getaway, even our first date—are all moments I’ll never forget. It’s been wonderful getting to share these experiences with someone like you who brings out the best in everyone around them. You’re such an inspiration!
Dear [best friend],
I was thinking about you today and all the memories we’ve shared. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate our friendship. You’re such a wonderful person, and I’m so glad that we get to share in each other’s lives.
Thank you for always being there for me when I need someone to talk to, you’re such an amazing listener. I know you’ll be there for me in any situation, whether it’s just a bad day or something more serious.
I know that you’ve been through some hard times recently, but please know that I’m here for you if ever you need someone to talk to.
I hope this note finds its way into your hands soon so that we can talk again soon!
Dear [name],
I just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking about you. I know it’s been a while since we spoke, and I hope everything is going well for you. Things have been pretty crazy here, and I really needed to take some time off from work.
I was thinking about the time we went to Italy together and stayed in that little hotel on the beach. Do you remember? We got drunk on wine, ate pasta every day for breakfast and dinner, and spent hours swimming with dolphins in the ocean. It was amazing!
I miss our adventures together so much. Please write back to me soon!
Dear [name],
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever told you how much your friendship means to me. When we first met, it was as if we’d known each other forever. We were instantly comfortable with each other, like we were always meant to be friends. I’m so glad that our paths crossed, because if they hadn’t, who knows what my life would look like?
I feel like I can tell you anything and everything—it’s just such a relief to have someone who will listen without judgment or criticism. You’re my best friend and a true confidant, and I am so grateful for you every day of my life.
Hey [name],
I hope you’re doing well. I know it’s been a while since we’ve been in touch, but I wanted to send you a note today because I miss you so much!
I was thinking about our first year of college.
I remember how nervous I was when I showed up at your dorm room for the first time but then you were there with open arms, ready to welcome me in. You introduced me to your roommate and we all went out for dinner together that night. It was one of the best nights of my life!
You are such a special friend to me. You’ve always been kind and supportive, even when things aren’t going well for me or when I’m feeling insecure. When we study together, we have such a great time, we crack jokes and laugh until tears roll down our faces. We also have some pretty deep conversations too (sometimes about boys…). Your friendship means so much to me and it means even more now that we’re both adults living far away from each other.
I hope you’re having a wonderful day today!
Dear [best friend’s name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve been thinking about our friendship a lot lately, and it occurred to me that I haven’t written to you in a while, and that’s not okay. You’re my best friend, and I love you so much!
I wanted to write this letter because I’ve been wondering if you have any favorite memories of us together. I know we’ve shared a lot of good times, but I’d love to hear your perspective on our friendship as well. What are some of your favorite memories?
I’m thinking about what to do for your birthday present this year, so if there’s anything in particular you want or need, please let me know!
Love always,
[your name]
Dear [friend’s name],
I’m writing to tell you some of the things I remember about you.
I remember that time we went to the zoo and saw all the animals, but we were so scared of them and had to leave right away. That was funny!
I also remember when we went to the beach and got really hot, even though it was winter, because there was no wind at all. It was weird!
But most of all, what I remember about us is how much fun we had together on our camping trip last summer—and also how worried I was about getting lost in the woods overnight (haha). But when I think back on it now, it seems like such a silly thing to be scared of! We’re such good friends that going without each other for a night would never have felt right anyway!
Anyway, thanks for being my best friend. Love always, [your name].
Hi [name],
I’m writing to you today because I wanted to tell you that I’ve been thinking about the memories we made growing up. It’s crazy how much our lives have changed since then we’re all grown up now! But when I think back on how we were as kids, it’s like it was just yesterday. We used to always play in the park and get in trouble for it, but now we’re all working adults with families of our own.
I know your life is busy, so I don’t want to take up too much of your time with this letter. But if there’s anything you want to talk about from back when we were kids, let me know! I would love to hear all about what’s going on in your life these days.
Dear [name],
I’m writing to you because I know you’ll understand how much I’m struggling with the idea that my life is changing, and that I’ll never be able to relive some of the best times of my childhood.
I remember growing up, playing in the backyard with our neighbor’s dog. The way he used to run around and play with us made me feel like everything was going to be okay. I wish we could go back in time and do it all again.
Hey [name],
It’s been a while since we’ve talked, and I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for being such a good friend. We’ve had some pretty wild times together, but I think my favorite memory is when we went camping in the mountains and ate s’mores. That was really fun!
Anyway, thanks again for everything you’re awesome! See you soon!
Hey [best friend’s name],
I miss you so much! I wish we could hang out and talk about all the good times we’ve had together.
The first time we met was when I was seven and you were five; my parents had us over for a playdate and you were playing with blocks on the floor. You looked up at me, smiled, and said “Hi!” as if you knew me forever. From that moment on, we were friends.
We used to go to the park together after school every day, even if it was raining or freezing cold outside. But we didn’t care—we just wanted to be together. When we got older, we’d get ice cream cones from the ice cream truck that drove by our neighborhood every afternoon at 5:00 PM sharp (it still does). We’d sit under an umbrella on one of those old wooden benches and eat our cones while talking about boys (or maybe girls) and how cool they were or weren’t in comparison with each other—we never really knew what exactly made someone cool, but we knew they weren’t like us so they must be cool! And then later on when the sun went down and it got dark outside…
Dear [friend’s name],
I can’t believe it’s been a year since you left. I miss you every day, but today especially. Today of all days, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our friendship and all the memories we shared.
Remember when we were kids and we would pretend to be superheroes? And then we’d go around town trying to stop crime and make everyone’s lives better? Those were some of the best days of my life…
That time when we went camping and got lost in that cave for three days… And the time when we went to San Diego Comic-Con together—that was so much fun! We should do it again this year!
And don’t forget about last Halloween when you dressed up as me for Halloween and scared all my friends half to death with your costume! It was hilarious!
I’m going on vacation tomorrow to New York City! But before I go, I want to say: Thank you for being such an amazing friend. You’ve made my life so much more interesting than it ever would have been without you in it. You’re always there for me whenever I need someone to talk
Hey [best friend],
I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve been thinking about the first time we met and how much our lives have changed since then.
We were both so young when it happened—it seems like just yesterday! But now, I’m graduating from college and moving out of my parents’ house, while you’re getting ready to start your own family. It’s crazy how fast life goes by!
Anyway, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much you mean to me and that I’m so thankful for all the laughs we’ve had over the years. You’re the best friend anyone could ever ask for and I’m excited to see what happens next in your life!
Dear [friend’s name],
I’m so glad you’re back! I missed you so much. We used to spend all of our time together, and now it seems like we hardly ever see each other. When we do get together, it’s usually at a party or something like that—and even then, one of us has to leave early because we have an important meeting or something.
I wish we could go back in time. Back when things were simpler. When we didn’t have so much on our plates and could just hang out all day long at the park or the beach, watching the waves crash against the shoreline. Or when we would stay up late watching movies together, eating junk food and drinking soda until our fingers were sticky with syrup. Those were good times!
I know life is busy right now… but don’t forget about me! Please make time for me in your busy schedule, because I want us to be able to stay connected and keep up with what’s going on in each other’s lives as best friends should.
