Yesterday was an interesting day. I came home from work after running around on my feet all day, working till 2:30. Then get a call from Gabby Cayabyab saying she's with Zoe Bohlen. Well there's a shocker! Gabby was my best friend since we were 5 years old and met at the Apple River Park. She asked if I was a boy or a girl, and thus began our strange friendship for years to come. Zoe on the other hand I met before Gabby, around the same time. Zoe was my church friend. His grandfather and family ran a church in an old barn where we all held services Saturday nights. We would play (And get in trouble) together. I brought Gabby with me and the three of us grew up together seeing each other every week. We played 'The Deck Game' 'Hide and Seek' and enough food fights with watermelion and tapioka pudding to remember the hour long trip home wearing gooie clothes. That is until Zoe's parents decided to move to Bismark, North Dakota. He left when he was about 12 years old. So when Gabby and Zoe came by my house and I saw him it was quite a shock. All grown up and complete with a mature deep voice and everything. Eight years is a long time! I Actually thought he probably forgot who I was. I guess not. They came over and stayed for a couple hours. It was really nice. I think back to those younger years and think of them as the good ole days. I hope now we can keep in touch. I never had many friends and it always hurts to lose them again. I guess time will tell.
