8th Grade BFF

The craziest thing happened to me yesterday. Well, all week I kept thinking about an old friend of mine that I had in Ecuador. In the 8th grade we were the best of friends. Every weekend either I would stay at her house or she would stay at mine. We played basketball together, we both had our first serious boyfriends then and we were very similar in so many ways. We had the best year ever. Then at the end of 8th grade Laura's family got moved back to the US. To Indiana. We were so sad. We kept in touch for the next couple years by e-mail and then sending packages back and forth. I think we did the mix tape thing back then. We didn't have the cool phone systems that we have now or facebook or myspace to keep in touch. So we lost touch. I always wonder about her and some times through the grape vine I would hear little things about how she was doing and I'm sure she heard the same about me. Well, yesterday she found me on Facebook! We haven't really talked since 8th grade. We have been messaging back and forth and is bringing back so many great memories. She is married and has a daughter. And in my eyes she is still my best friend from 8th grade! Maybe we'll talk on the phone soon and friendship will come full circle!
