A Heartfelt Farewell Gift For Sarah That Said It All

My best friend Sarah and I have been inseparable since we were kids. We’ve been through everything together—breakups, new jobs, family drama. So when she told me she was moving halfway across the world for her dream job, I was devastated. Of course, I was happy for her, but the thought of her not being just a short drive away hit me harder than I expected.

I wanted to give her something that would remind her of home and of our friendship, even when she was thousands of miles away. That’s when I thought of a custom song. I poured my heart into it, sharing all the little things that make our friendship special—our inside jokes, the road trips, and even the way we always ordered the same pizza toppings.

The night before she left, I played the song for her. As soon as she heard the first line, she froze, and then the tears started. “You did this for me?” she asked, hugging me so tight I could barely breathe. We sat there listening to it on repeat, laughing and crying until it felt like we’d said everything we needed to say.

She told me later that she plays it whenever she feels homesick, and it makes her feel like I’m right there with her. That song didn’t just say goodbye—it made sure she knew that no matter where she went, our friendship would always be there.
