Do you believe the following quote is true? “Love between true friends knows no distance”. At age 11, my best friends moved out of state. I was told in the summer that they would be moving that fall and I didn’t know what was going to happen. But looking back, I learned that even though friends may be far away, they will always be in my heart.
Before this ever happen we knew each other for years. We did everything together. How it all started is my Mom needed a babysitter. Julie found out and her family offered to watch me. After a while we became friends. Growing up with each other we started to do things, like going to church, going to school events and visiting their other friends. At Christmas time we would …show more content…
On the way to mine and Shannon last girls scout meeting, Jule told me “We have some news.” I just lost so much, They were moving out of state. I was shocked. I kept my emotions inside. Shannon and Julie told the troop. That’s when I lost it, I balled. I was sad, lost and I didn’t know how to say goodbye. All I knew was I had to spend all the time as possible with them. Time went so fast, I had dropped everything to be with them. Their mom would’ve taken me with them because to Julie I am her 2nd daughter. The last time I saw them was when we were supposed to have our last night together. They had to get Jordan from camp. So i was dropped off with someone that my parents didn’t know. They came home we were hurgey. We ate pizza rolls. My dad came back and said ”we’re leaving.Say goodbye.” I turn around and Jordan Walked up to me and hugged me. Again was trying to keep my emotions inside. Scott and Shannon waved goodbye. Julie hugged me and that when hot tears ran down my face. Julie cried too. Dad said time to leave, and we left with him trying to calm me …show more content…
I felt depressed. I spent no time with other friends I would maybe do homework or just lay in bed crying or thinking. The person that I used to be was gone, nothing but a shell was left. I didn’t joke around anymore and my relationship with God was different. I got in a bad group of friends. I didn’t leave that group until 9th grade, But I still try to help them without getting myself too involved. Around Valentine's Day I started to feel better. It was funny timing because it is Julie middle name. I started to realize I’ve wasted months and I realize it wouldn’t bring them back. We start to facetime. It gave me something to be happy about and excited for instead of being sad. Even though facetiming them was great, it was not the same as seeing them in person. Little did I know, I was go to see them again soon. On the last day of school for that year, one of my teachers told me “You have a visitor in the office.” I asked “Who?” “Go and find out.” I went the the office. “Hmmm, no one is here.” I thought. I went back to class. Mrs. B, “Found them?” “No” I said. “Keep looking.” she said. So I looked and when I turned a corner, I saw three figures. I could tell it was Julie and Jordan talking to someone. I frozed. Here was the family that I missed so much. Jordan and I saw each other and hugged. I turned around and saw Shannon was coming up to me. We hugged. Later, I saw Scott. We high fived each other. They stayed for the summer and
