I want to tell you about my best friend I ever had. The one I went to Airways Junior High School with. We were like Mutt and Jeff she and I. I always thought I loved her and as it turns out I always did and always will. You see she was the little sister I always wished I had. There was no pretense between us like there would have been with lovers. We didn’t have to keep up a phony appearance to impress one another, because we knew each other like we were brother and sister she and I. We could talk about anything and we did. I remember one partly cloudy day after lunch and before classes our little group would lay in the grass and talk about the strangest things. We would try and find familiar shapes in the clouds and laugh out loud when we had found something strange she and I. I don’t know what happened. I can't even guess what or why. It may have been that we had started dating other people she and I. As you do and you know how that can put a strain on friendships especially one like she and I. I’ve always kept her very near to my heart for she was my buddy, my Pal. I will never forget her quirky smile. I always think of her every day for a while. I can’t help it, she was always there when I needed her smile. She never seemed to cramp my style and I hope she remembers me as fondly as I do her. I’ve not seen her for over 30 years. I want to send her this special thank you and wish her well for the memories of She and I. You are the greatest friend this young boy ever had, Sheila
