Best Buddies and Lifelong Friends


My friend Lisa, from my "old" neighborhood, was here in town for two days visiting her stepson. We recently got back in touch with each other and said that if either of us were near the other we would get together. Well, it's been nearly 23 years since we last saw each other and we finally met up. The year I moved, age 2, to our new house she was born. We became friends as soon as we could walk. We lost touch during our high school years, as she had moved away. Seeing Lisa again was better than any therapy available. I felt like I was recapturing a part of my youth. She remembers several of my family members who have since passed away. It was so wonderful reconnecting with someone who used to know me so well!
