Friends

Today, I met an old friend by chance.

Old friends bring out the child in you. No rules could curtail my excitement at seeing him.

We were screaming, hugging, shaking, laughing…let me stop here before I start singing a Naira Marley song.

We checked in on family and shared highlights of our story since we last met. Then we started exchanging notes on mutual friends we were still in touch with and some we’ve lost.

This week has been a rough week, but I am ending it on a high.

I am thankful for friends that hold some of my most treasured memories.
