Danny and I haven’t seen each other in ages.
As adolescents, the two of us were best friends and rarely did anything when the other wasn’t present… In our own way, the two of us thought we’d typically be close to one another, but that wasn’t the case when Danny and his family moved away, then his Mom got a new job in New Mexico, and they had to transfer when the two of us were twelve.
Both of us tried to keep in touch, but the distance was too much, then eventually, the calls and texts dwindled as the two of us both got new friends to hang out with. About a year ago, I went to a labor conference in New Mexico and was surprised to see a proper name on the signup sheet. I was so surprised it was Danny. Both of us talked for hours when the conference was done and even went out dancing. I promised him I’d be back to visit soon with my family… My adolescents were happy about the trip and meeting my old friend! They loved his house, which had a nice pool in the backyard… Danny had gone above and beyond to prepare his home for us. He knew I needed some to relax, so he chose to take the adolescents to the zoo one afternoon; We’d passed by a cannabis dispensary the previous night, and I got some pot brownies to love while they were away. When the adolescents got back to Danny’s house, they had so several tales to tell. The zoo had been an excellent experience, and they got to see so several critters. I thanked Danny so much since I was all caught up with sleep and felt so relaxed.
