After the series debuted on March 24, 2006 (yup, feel old yet?) Hannah Montana launched Miley into the stratosphere of superstardom, making her a household name. After four seasons, the show came to an end in 2011, to be followed by a feature film ending the franchise with Miley taking of the wig, one last time.
If you know, then you know, that Miley and Hannah haven’t always seen eye to eye about having the best of both worlds. But in the letter Miley celebrates the show and life changing experience, and that from the journey’s start HM has been in her heart and remains there to this very day.
Additionally Miley shared fond memories of working with her dad Billy Ray Cyrus and her co-stars, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso and Jason Earles, as well as her grandparents, crew and special guests. Of course, Momma Tish got a shout out as well, but not before Cyrus dedicated lyrics from “Wherever I Go,” Hannah’s final song as a “teen pop sensation” to the character herself.
Cyrus started of her note with “Hi Hannah, It’s been a while 15 years to be exact,” continuing on to detail and divulge her gratitude and countless unforgettable memories.
“Since the first time I slid those blonde bangs over my forehead in the best attempt to conceal my identity. Then slipped into a puke pink terry cloth robe with a bedazzled HM over the [heart]. I didn’t know then… that is where you would live forever,” she wrote. “Not just in mine but millions of people around the world. Although you are considered to be an ‘alter ego’ in reality there was a time in my life when you held more of my identity in your glovette than I did in my bare hands.”
“We had an equal exchange in which you provided a superlative amount of fame in return for the anonymity I could gift to you. But, a lot has changed since then. You were like a rocket that flew to the moon + never brought me back down. I couldn’t have imagined when taping myself singing ‘I Love Rock N Roll’ against a white wall in my moms friends kitchen in Nashville, TN the name typed in marquee style letters on the front of a first draft script would make my wildest dreams a reality,” she continued.
“Not a day goes by I forget where I came from. A building in Burbank, California with a room full of people with the power to fulfill my destiny. And that they did. They gave me you. The greatest gift a girl could ask for. I love you Hannah Montana. Forever, Miley.”
