She was my best friend all through high school. We went thrift store shopping together, planned the band we were going to start, and shared everything, including Nate, our mutual ex-boyfriend.
Then, ten years ago, I moved away, and our lives changed. We saw each other once, about 6 years ago, which was nice but a bit awkward, and then managed to lose touch.
Several months, through the magic of facebook, we found each other again. I told her in an email a bit about what was going on in my life, something I was nervous about doing because my values have changed so much since we were close. I didn’t hear back, and wondered if that meant rejection. I started planning my trip back to Minnesota for Dad’s wedding, and figured it was worth the risk asking if she wanted to see me while I was there. Her response, “Absolutely!!! Give me a call.”
I did just that on Saturday. We talked for about two hours straight. She has changed too, and we have more in common than I had assumed we would. She wants to stay in touch this time, and I am excited to see her again in February.
