I just had a conversation with an old friend. No, we're not old, don't be silly. I mean the kind of friend that you've had since 1st grade, the kind that went through "the awkward years" with you, the kind that survived HS with you, the kind that it seems you can always reconnect with, the kind that always makes you smile.

I find myself smiling that after a long time we still know each other, on some levels, as well as anyone. Sure, there have been a lot of changes in our lives but there is something about a friend like that--something you just don't find as easily in the friends you make as an adult.

I wish we lived closer but we are going to try and get together soon.

On a day when I am living in fear and hope that the phone will ring. It was a good phone call.
