You know that one friend…

That you had in high school (or longer) that was just your best friend ever, and for some reason you just went your own ways after graduation? Well I do. I have more then one of those, but recently I had the opportunity to have lunch with one of those friends.  I’ve known Miss S. since I was 3 and she was 4.  We were in primary, young womens, seminary, and high school together.  We were basically inseparable in high school but for some reason after I finished high school, and the year later she finished high school we had just kind of stopped talking.  Kirk and I went out to eat at the place she works, and she was our waiter and I told her we should go out to eat.  Weeks later, I decided to follow up on that, and we decided to get lunch.  I was a little nervous since I hadn’t really seen or talked to her in about 7 years, and we are both very different now than we were 7 years ago.  I was surprised and not at the same time that once we started talking and catching up, it was like no time had passed at all.  She was still mostly the same person I was best friends with at 16.  Of course we’re both different now, and have both have a lot of experiences that have changed us, but it felt like we were back in high school chatting.  We met for lunch at 12:30 and stayed till almost 3 talking.  We tried to think of why we stopped being friends, and while neither of us could think of anything we did decide that we shouldn’t wait 7 years to see or talk again.  I’m so glad I got to see her, and remember why she was my best friend.
