A letter to a friend

I decided I would take the idea of replying to my friend to heart and I have:
Dear Kelley,
I can't believe we have been friends for over 20 years. I can't believe I am old enough to have known you that long! :) I wish we could live closer together so we could actually hang out like we used to and not just send an email to each other a couple of times a year! I have so many memories of playing at your house, and doing girls scouts, basketball and chorus with you. Your family was like my second family- you were my other sister growing up. I am glad we got to spend some time hanging out my first semester of college. You have been a very important person in my life.
I can remember going to girl scout camp with you and staying up singing corney songs. The video your mom captured of us singing that Annie song with Dollie is so funny. There was also that birthday party where we dressed up in your mom's clothes and paraded around. Then of course there was the Good Burger sketch. I wasn't embarrassed at the time but I cringe when I think about it now.
I remember going to your grandmother's to visit and eating Oreos. We played the Oreo game, who was going to marry who. I remember watching your parents volley ball games and staying up late on summer nights catching lighting bugs and letting them go in your room and sleeping over.
I remember going for walks in the woods and talking about fairies. We had great imaginations, believing in those childhood pretend worlds. Also, remember all those Baby Sitter Club books that we read? Our love of kids lead us in the same direction on our career paths. Who knew we would grow up to both teach 5 year olds?
I am so glad that we became friends in Kindergarten, and that you are my best friend forever-Hey, Hey, Hey! Love ya!!! -Heather


Thanks for letting me share with you all. I am really going to send this to my friend. :)
