Friendship

There's just something magical about your first best friend.  You share a sparkle in your eye, a sense of adventure, a will to be amazingly different--together and it's the first time you really love someone who is not your relative.  These are the years when you aren't afraid to do anything, you live in your own, wonderful world that grown-ups can't even imagine and you dream about places you plan to go "tomorrow."  You make potions, create masterpieces, play games and run a lot...life couldn't be better in this moment.  What a fabulous time for a friend to share your ideas with and an even better time for a mom to watch it all and remember her own best friend moments.  It fills me with so much joy to watch my daughter play with her best friend exactly the way I used to play with mine...that is something technology will never change because it can't be improved upon, it's perfect just like it is.
