Moving South
Friends come and go throughout your life. My best friend, whose name is Mary, and I have a strong fifteen-year friendship. Mary and I went through the toughest and most painful experience together the summer of 2010.
My dad came home from work right after I came home from school. He came to my mom and I with terrible news. “My company is shutting down and they want to transfer me to the Pennsylvania location.” Millions of thoughts went though my head, “What about my family?” “What about all of my friends? How am I going to survive without them all?” I went through kindergarten, elementary school and up until 7th grade with Mary by my side. How would I make it all alone with her being six hours away?

I learned that you don’t need to be around someone everyday to call him or her your best friend. I learned that distance doesn’t define friendship; I learned that the hard way.
There are only so many long weekends and holidays in one year. So every time I visited my family and friends, I knew even though I may be visiting for two days, or even two weeks, I would have to go back to my real “home” 400 miles away. I had to make every minute count. In this short amount of time we had together we fit in so many activities. We did things such as bowling, saw movies, tried snowboarding, went shopping and played basketball. I think the most cherished time together we had was just hanging out in my room, watching movies, laughing, and just being girls. I miss Mary so much its unbelievable.
Since I moved to Pennsylvania, I learned the true definition of quality time. I wish I could turn back time and cherish every second I spent living in Hudson, New Hampshire. I had no clue I wouldn’t be there my entire life. I learned a lot over the past few years, not only about friendship, but also about sacrifice. As a child I didn’t really understand why my parents moved me here. But as time went by I see they were only doing what was best for the
