Dear Friend,

Although time has passed, I have never forgotten you. As we grew older, we also grew apart and for that, I’m sorry. But after all this, I never did forget you. Little did I know, five years later we would begin to regain the friendship we once had, and for that I am thankful. Something so small as where we worked brought us back together and if I believed in fate, I would probably hand it off to that.

Be reassured that I never did forget you in all of the commotion of growing up. I remember the way I felt when I looked at those old middle school pictures and even asked myself what happened. After all the confusion, we were given another opportunity to have the same awkward pre-teen friendship we once had, just now we don’t have to ask our moms to go to the mall.

So, thank you. Thank you for being patient with me and thank you for allowing me to gradually become part of your life again. I enjoy the lunches we share and all of the laughs we have so much more than before. Because without you around, things were never the same. I am very excited to see where we end up this time and can only imagine that it will be better than before.

At last, things are better than ever. Thank you for the memories, before and now. Cheers to us and all things to come.
