Farewell To The One Who Knew You First

Right from the start of Pre-k these two girls were friends of the highest order. Carter was the tallest in the class and Campbell was probably the most petite. Mutt and Jeff comes to mind. They never were the kind of girls who were rivals with their friends. They always knew that had each other’s back, even when they moved in different circles.  

They were friends in the beginning and are friends till the end. I never would have predicted that they would both go to college in the same state. I hardly could even fathom them going to college when they were in Pre-k, or kindergarten or fifth grade.

Tonight we had one last good bye dinner. As much for us mothers to get to same good bye as it was for Carter and Campbell. I hope that they will always have each other because there is nothing like that friend who knew you when to keep you honest and appreciate where you came from. Those friends who can commiserate with when your parents act crazy.  

Good luck to Campbell at Amherst. You will shine there as you always have. I hope that iMessage works well with Carter in Berlin. When you are unsure about your new place reach out to the one who has known you the longest.
