Where does the time go?

Amanda Osborne and I were inseparable for our beginning years at good ‘ole MVHS. We shared the awkward days obsessing over older boys, passing our secret book back and forth, crying together when Princess Diana passed, chicken sandwiches and Dr. Pepper for lunch, glow in the dark, “Afternoon Delight” and the phrase, “Oh my god! Look it’s Sean”. This one of kind friend and I went our separate ways, for reasons now I can’t even remember. I think it’s amazing that as time passes we forget the times we spent together and long to be younger again. Amanda and I have remained friends since we graduated eight-and-a-half years ago and two weeks ago she married the love of her life. The last time I saw Amanda was on our wedding day sixteen months ago, and being a part of her day was amazing. I couldn’t help but cry and think about the days that once were spent driving up and down Cal Oaks in my ’88 Integra. I am writing this as a memory and to the future of a friendship of a lifetime.
