Blast from the past
Cecilia used to be one of my best friends.
I loved her deeply and she was one of the best friends I met in my life... Even when we were 15 years old and I liked that stupid guy, and she was dating that stupid guy... and we thought life would be so much harder without those guys in our lives.
In my memory there are flashes... she and I talking at night, doing homework, projects together.
She sat in front of me in class, and I remember helping her with English and other subjects. She was a great girl...
For some reason we lost contact for the past 14 years.
I moved to the States and she stayed in Argentina. I knew about her - just a lil bit - coz one of my best friends NOW was friends with her brother when he came to live here (the USA) for a while. I knew she was married and had a son, but that was it.
Yesterday we talked on MSN for about 5 hours... catching up on EVERYTHING and it was really nice to see that she still remembers me the same way I remember her: with love.
There is a quote that says something like 'many people would walk into your life, but few of them would leave you leaving footprints' or something like that.
Definately, she's one that left footprints.

Wow! I have a very similar story: when I was 11, my best friend moved to the US. I felt crushed inside, because she was like the sister I never had; we kept in touch through letters (no email back then!) but then in 2000 she got married and got caught up in life. So I basically lost contact with her. I still heard about her through her grandparents who lived in my town. In the mean time I knew my husband, we dated, we met, we got engaged and married; and we moved to the US (where he's from). One of the first things I did here was to look for her on internet and I found her number and called her. We talked for 2 hours on the phone and just like you, she remembered me the same way I remembered her: my childhood bestfriend, someone I had loved dearly.
I think that it's those moments that make us feel deeply loved, remembered and cared for that make this life SO worth living!
