It’s Been a Long, Long Time

I remember their mom (step-mom’s) first day of school as a new student. She had long, curly, dark hair and glasses. She was adorable. I was the new student two years before her. And being the new girl is never an easy thing. She made friends easily, and I was one of them, and when I left, to be a new girl again, at a new school, she was the one to throw me a party to send me off.

And now we’re grown. We have kids the same age. And I haven’t seen her in years and years and years.

I got to take pictures of her beautiful children a couple weeks ago. Sweet and ornery and beautiful and they look just like her. I can see her mannerisms in them. Their facial expressions. I always find that amazing, and surreal when you can see your friends in their children.

Thanks for coming to see me. And thanks for letting me do this for you! Sorry about the bugs. Totally worth it though!
