A letter to my 20's

To my dearest 20’s,

We have been together for a long time. 10 years in fact! We’ve had a lot of good times haven’t we? As I think about you I realize that you brought me some of the most amazing and memorable experiences I will have throughout my entire life time! It is you who has shaped so much of what my life will for hold for all the years to come. I am forever grateful for you. Yes, we have had a few bad times. Things I don’t like to even think about. But we made it through didn’t we. You and me made a great team. But now it is time to say goodbye. I will miss you 20’s. But I will never forget you as you live on in my heart forever.
Love,
Amber

Ps- Just so we never forget what we had together, I have made us a list of some of our amazing memories.
