James to Kelsey,
I genuinely don’t really know where to start with this one, because saying goodbye to you is going to be a lot harder than I probably let on.
You came into my life as someone I worked with, but somewhere along the way you became so much more than that. You became one of the people I trust the most, someone I know I can turn to no matter what, and most importantly, one of my best friends.
We’ve been through the good days, the stressful days, the days where everything has gone completely wrong, and plenty of moments where all we could do was laugh about it. Through all of it, you’ve always been there.
I want you to know how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, not just at work but personally as well. There have been times when just knowing you were at the end of the phone has meant more to me than you probably realise.
Things are obviously going to be different without you around every day, and I’m genuinely going to miss you more than I can put into words. But just because you’re leaving work doesn’t mean you’re getting rid of me that easily 😂
Whatever happens and wherever life takes us, you will always be my one phone call and my bestie. Whether it’s something serious, I need advice, everything has gone to s**t, or I just need someone to talk absolute rubbish with, I know you’ll be there — and I hope you know that I’ll always be exactly the same for you.
I’m incredibly proud of you, and I genuinely want nothing but happiness and success for you in whatever comes next. You deserve it.
So this isn’t really goodbye. It’s just the end of one chapter and the start of another.
Thank you for everything, Kels. For the laughs, the memories, the support, the loyalty, and most importantly, for being you.
Always my bestie, always my one phone call. ❤️
Love you mate,
James x
