I had a piece of Dove chocolate a while ago that had a wrapper saying, "Remember your first best friend." I remember her. She came to visit her Grandma next door when we were 7 years old. She was the oldest of 6 kids and I was the oldest of 7. We had fun playing Red Rover, Red Rover, Won't You Come Over, and tag. We also had some of the same teachers. I remember walking home with her some times. She would take me cross country skiing in her woods. Oooooo the scary hairpin turn at the big tree. If you didn't catch your arm around the tree, you ended up going off the cliff. OOOOOO I was soo nervous but it was soo much fun too. We went snowmobiling together with our friends and ice skating on her pond. Oh yeah! Horsebacking riding too. Sometimes that was a little scary when "Joe" decided he didn't want me on him. I stayed though. We went to concerts together in Albany on the van that Mr. Parsons drove. I slept over at her house a few times. I was never able to have friends over night but that didn't seem to bother her. We had parties at her house and other friends houses. She played clarinet and I played saxophone in the band together. We were in each others weddings and now I'm godmother to her only daughter. Yes, I remember my first best friend. She is still my bestest friend.
Do you remember your first best friend?
