Last night to my surprise my old friend since kindergarten had sent me a friend request on facebook. I could not believe that she had remembered me. We started sending messages to each other explaining the new things that have happen in our lives. Savanna mentioned to me that everybody from Parkview elementary were all still there and no one had changed at all. I was so glad to hear from her after all these years. The last time I had seen her was in second grade when I went to Parkview elementary school in Stratford. I had moved to Lindenwold over the summer and started third grade which was hard for me since it was new friends and school. Anyways Savanna is a junior at Sterling High School and I had explained to her that now I'm a senior because I had skipped a grade in 7th grade. Savanna looked so different, I did not even recognize her when she first sent me the friend request. She was a very good friend to me and I never thought I would ever see her again. It's very odd how that she was always with me and she never seemed to want to leave me. We were always partners in everything and she loved me like a sister. I know it was a long time ago but even if it was when I was only a child I knew when someone truly did care about me. I guess you never know who will come back into your life but a part of me knew she was.
I, too, have caught up with old classmates on facebook. In some cases it's been thirty years!
