Our Memories Are Playing Like A Film Without A Sound



This is dedicated to my best friend Jadie. We have been best friends practically since birth. And I hope we will always stay the best of friends.

I remember growing up with you always living right downstairs from me. Since birth we’ve been inseparable, but then one day we just started drifting apart. For a few years we did not talk or hang out. You had a new best friend and you was focused on your schoolwork. I also had a new best friend and I was focused on my father. It seemed like those years we didn’t hang out were the best years of my life. But they were indeed not. They were the worst. The best years of my life was when you and I spent every possible minute together. Just hanging out, going to the mall, bike riding, going to the skating rink. I remember we used to get mad at my mom when I was grounded and couldn’t go over your house. And when we did Kidz Fit 4 Life. Oh my gosh. That was extremely fun. Helping out all of the little kids with their paperwork. It was always an adventure when we would help Belinda. But then again when I was 12 bike riding with you was an adventure. And remember when you tried to teach me how to play basketball? How you tried so hard to teach me, but I was just so uncoordinated. And to this day I cant play basketball, but at least I can make a couple shots more than I used to. Those were the good times. I really miss that. Waking up and the first thing that was on my mind was what was Jadie and I going to do that day. I especially miss when I used to spend the night at your house and we’d wake up early on Saturday morning so we can make the boys’ and your mom breakfast. Oh yes, and your famous omelets. They were amazing. I will never forget the first time I tried your macaroni and cheese with Heinz ketchup. At first I was all like “eww that looks and sounds disgusting”. And then I finally tasted it and it was like love at first taste. Lol. I guess what I am trying to say is that I miss you. We wont beable to hang out when we want to anymore. With me living where I am now and with you moving so far away. We will just have to cherish each moment we do have together. Our memories are playing like a film without a sound.
