Reflections of the Past

this morning I had the chance to catch up with one of my oldest friends.

it has been 8 years - wow that is such a long time.

this girl was my most bestest friend for 4 years.

we met in year 7.

she knew me at my "ghetto" stage - I'm pretty sure she encouraged it ; ) !

she knew me before and after my brother passed away.

she was crazy with me and we could laugh all night long.

we spent most weekends at each others house.

we did everything together : ).

we unfortunately have photos to prove our ghetto stage of life - which I would love to burn lol.

we have millions of friendship books.

she knew all my secrets and all my crushes.

she was there when I had my high school heart broken (can't lie I was a tad boy crazy).

we knew each others children's names and of course planned it out so they would be best friends and close in age just like us.

today, brax got to meet maia and to our surprise they are only 6 weeks apart - so we were not far off that prediction.

there are so many people that will come in and out of our lives but there are not a handful of people that you can truly call friends, they are the people who are there when the storms set in and they still love you no matter what you turn into.

i've only met a handful of them throughout my life.
the best things about these people is that no matter how long you go without seeing them, there is no awkwardness.

and this girl was one of them.
