Life works in crazy ways: things appear in my life that I never think I need. I truly believe that people are put in your life for a reason, and Abigail Wilgus was put in my life to show me true friendship. I wish that everyone could feel the support and love that she never fails to show me; if everyone treated others the way that Abby treats me, the world would be a better place. It is important to remind those in your life how important and appreciative you are for them, so this is my reminder to you, Abby.
"A sweet friendship refreshes the soul." Proverbs 27:9
Let me start off by describing who Abigail Wilgus is. She is this red-headed, full-of-energy, cat-loving kind of girl. She loves dancing in the rain (or any weather I should point out). If you have ever seen two girls under a street lamp in the pouring rain or a snow storm in our town, there is a 99.9% it is us. She chases after the idea of fun: she loves experiencing new things and dragging me along to try new trends (like drinking chocolate milk from a sippy cup). Abby is the most compassionate girl--she cares for anything and everyone, especially her cat Nala. She would go out of her way to make someone feel better; whether that is cracking a joke, or just engulfing you in a hug. She won't use her words as much while comforting you, but her presence is enough to feel loved. Her humor is her pride and joy; she is one of the funniest people I have ever met in my eighteen years of existence. I could be in the worst possible mood, but she cracks one small joke, and I am rolling on the floor. It is one of my favorite things about her: no matter what, she is always laughing or finding the fun out of a situation. Hence, "sunlight in human form". She truly is the sunlight during a storm.
I met Abby in December 2019; she sat with the same group I did for lunch. She and I knew who each other were, we just never conversed with one another until then. We instantly clicked, and when I say instantly...I mean instantly. Abby became one of the most crucial people in my life--she is who I trust with everything. She and I do not have the kind of friendship that is sappy and full of "I love you's", or all the physical touching. If one of us even touches each other, we just start dying in laughter because it is so uncommon of us. Not because we do not love one another or it makes us uncomfortable, we would just rather show our gratitude for each other in different ways. Some common approaches where we say "I love you" or "I appreciate you" without actually saying it: buying each other lunch or a coffee, borrowing each other's clothes, hanging out, dancing with one another, laughing, posting each other on social media, etc. We show our appreciation in ways only we understand and it makes our bond stronger.
Abby is one of the strongest people I know. She has been put through hell and back multiple times, yet she manages to keep her head held high. For that, I am beyond proud of her. Life is not easy, but she makes mine a tad easier, and I can only hope I do the same. Abby, never change! The world needs more people like you. Thank you for the endless love and friendship you have shown me and continue to show me for the past two years. I cannot wait to watch you grow and become an even better version of yourself than you already are. You are a blessing in my life, and I feel content knowing I can tackle this crazy journey with you by my side. I hope you truly take in this post and see how important you are to not only me, but to plenty of others.
My forever soulmate!
All my love! <3
