Friends Til The End

---

Junior High School me…

Had one best friend…had been BFFs for three years…inseparable…just the two of us…did everything together…and then things changed…

One of us went out for basketball…the other didn’t…one of us started making new friends…the other one didn’t…one of us tried to include the other with the more popular crowd…the other one…was stubborn…

And so going into high school me…had no friends…until she didn’t…taken in by the best of the best…academic…musical…theater group…

And we had fun…tons of fun…loyal…trustworthy…can’t imagine life without them…and then graduation comes…and all you have is memories…

Until that thing called Wordscapes…or social media…or just plain old texting…you reconnect…catch up…it’s like time never passed at all…

Got a package in the mail…a gift from a friend…one of those high school friends…lives in Colorado…haven’t met up in years…has taken up the hobby of jewelry making…

Thought you’d love these colors…she said…threw in the earrings because I know you like cats and coffee…and she’s right…

Her old friend from high school DOES love the colors…cats…and coffee…and knows she’s lucky to have been taken in by those kids so very long ago…

Friends…friends forever…friends…til the end…
​
And most likely those friends of mine…agree…
