Yesterday, I had a pleasant conversation with a life long friend over the phone. Was great talking about when we were kids and how the years passed.
I've mentioned her here a time or two in the past.
We are both in out mid 50s now and have known each other for around 46 years. In that time, we've both had friends come and go, some lost to time and distance, others to various events and some to death.
We met in school, she lived just down the road from me and it was still a time when whites and blacks rarely played together, (though we didnt know it then).
My family moved to a neighboring town and we lost touch for about 8 years when I moved back and we found each other in high school. Other than catching up, it was as though we never parted ways.
Marriages, kids, divorces, difference of opinions, and many other things but through it all, the friendship never ended. When I'm down that way, she is the first person I visit.
Think about it for a moment. A little white boy and a little black girl in the early 70s, in the deep south, would become lifelong friends.
We couldn't be any more different. But we're still here.
Anyone else have that lifelong friendship?
