I didn't know you knew Aya that long! Wow, that's a great story. It's really a testament to your friendship, too, that you've remained friends even as you have gone through different "life stages" (one of you with a grown daughter and one with elementary ages). I think that's an easy place to start to drift. But you and Aya have really hung on through all those years. I wish you MANY more years of your beautiful friendship! :) Hi, M!

We have been through everything together. She has the biggest heart of anybody I know. She is like a second mom to my daughter and we love her little ones more than words can describe. My heart melts when they call me Auntie Shull :) Can't imagine life without Aya. Even though we are in different places in our life - I am the mom of an adult and her babies are in elementary - we know that we are just a phone call, text, email or drive away. I have truly been blessed by her friendship. She is the sister I never had...love her, love her, love her!!! And thanks, Mizwrite, for reminding me what a beautiful friend I have :) I think I'll send her an email just to tell her how much she means to me...

I have a friend from that era, too! I'm so glad you have two close friends from then -- and glad you just realized you're a phone call away! Have fun reconnecting! Superman -- Aw, Walt and JR are, truly, special men, with good hearts. It's so neat that you've known them since you were 10! Virginia -- Your friend sounds like my Michelle! Moms are friends, etc. And same here -- time apart doesn't seem to matter. We never seem to miss a beat, but launch right back into old conversations and all that wonderful laughter!

We live in the same state, but somehow only manage to see each other once a year or so, but time apart doesn't seem to matter...

I think the first real friend I made then at age 10, and is still one of my very good freinds, is Walter A. That guy is and always has been one of the nicest and coolest people I know-and the best drummer the world has ever seen-no hyperbole there...Anyway we've been friends since age 10 and we are still buddies so I feel greatful for that! Another Great friend I made at that same time ended up being the BEST Best Man ever to me and my beautiful wife Laurie ("mizwrite herself)is J.R. although he likes to go by Jimmy P. now we will always know him as J.R., and I've always said (even at age 10) that even though we are the same age, he is the man I want to be like when I grow up...
