Time for the Friday Five.
1. Do you remember your first best friend? Who was it?
Yes, it was Erin R. in the 2nd grade. She was a hoot - we made mom videotape us doing commercials for hairspray, pepto, anything laying around. Priceless footage, people, priceless.
2. Are you still in touch with this person? No, but I hear about her through her mother occasionally.
3. Do you have a current close friend? Rachel H.
4. How did you become friends with this person? Through Auburn Ave. Church and eventually I moved where she lives, and we go to church together.
5. Is there a friend from your past that you wish you were still in contact with? Why? Yes, Catherine M. - she was an incredible, beautiful, smart, and fun person to be around. Awww... now I'm really missing her.
I'd like to add: Most of my closest friends are my family, believe it or not. That's sounds corny, but it's true.
Wow.. how cool... sends me on a trip down memory lane... my first best friend was Mary Ellen Jones... we were friends since first grade... and I lost track of her about three years ago... I kind of think she moved to Arkansas somewhere... because the last we talked, all the rest of her family had... hmmmm... my best friend now?... that's tough... there's so many of them...honest... God's blessed me with best friends every which way... plus... like you... my very best friends are family members... God is sooooo good... love... Aunt Vickie
Posted by: Aunt Vickie at July 11, 2003 06:12 PMMy first best friend was Patches Pace. Her mom drove a Trans-Am. It was red with an orange and yellow stripe - Classic! Patches told me that to go to heaven I had to be born again and that being born again meant that I had to literally be born again. I just couldn't figure out how that was going to happen. I was 5 by the way, so I guess I would have believed anything.
