Someone you didn't want to let go, but just drifted...
My (guy) best friend, Charles. we met the summer of 5th grade, he was a skater boy, and I was IN LOVE! lol. The first time I ever snuck out of my house was to see him, I got caught by the barking dog next door, and was immediately grouded for a month! (I think this was the only time my mom stuck to a punishment) I was devistated, for a 6th grader to be grounded from her new "boyfriend" it was the end of life as I knew it, and out "relationship"..we stayed friends, and as the next couple of years passed by, he began to get into some trouble. His mother moved him out to Keystone (out in the "country") in hopes that the slower life would keep him on the strait and narrow. (little did she know that putting him in the middle of nowhere, only stirred his curiosity to get into MORE trouble out of sheer boredom!) anyway..we continued to stay freinds through letters and phone calls, and when it came time for graduation, He made sure I was there. It was the begining of a budding relationship for us once again, really we were just "there for each other" we both had busy lives, and lived about 1 1/2 hrs. away, so there was not a lot of time to spend together. We tried to get together once a month or so and spend a weekend together. charles was one of the only people I knew (growing up) that accepted me for me. No questions, no judgeing, no disagreements..just accepted me with open arms and loved me unconditionally. I wanted him to give me away at my wedding, but I guess after all we had been through over our years, it was too much emotion envolved. We still remained friends for several years, but things were never the same for us after I got married..I remember one year on my birthday David (my husband) planned a surprise party for me, he called Charles and invited him, but he did not come..I called to find out why, and he thought David was setting him up, he thought he was gonna get a "beat down" when he got to our house. LOL..eventually our friendship faded out. The last time we spoke was when I called to tell him I was pregnant with Ashlyn. I have no idea where he is now, last time I spoke to his mom (a few years ago) she said he lived near me, but I have yet to run into him. I miss him a lot. I pray that life has been good to him since we parted ways, and that one day I will see him when we get to heaven and he can fill me in on all that I have missed :)
