Blood makes you related, loyalty makes you family.
Fruit Lion
When I was a child, I was a little bit shy. So in 6th grade, I met my best friend Shelly. We hit it off right away and I would stay at her house as often as I could, even if my mom did not know I was going to. I would sneak on her bus and Id go to her house. While at her house, we would prank call people. Of course, we would prank call our mutual crush… Chad. He had blondish brown hair, freckles, and blue eyes. We thought he was a “total babe” and we also thought he was completely clueless that we liked him. I do not know why we thought we could hide it that well when we giggled about him all the time or thought we were so slick using our makeup mirrors to admire him while never actually applying makeup. Those were the days with phones with long cords that you end up getting tangled into if the call was a particularly good one. They did not have caller id unless you were the real wealthy at that time, and everyone had your phone number if they had a phone book.

Skateboards and Slipknot
I think back in time on the daily bases. The smallest thing can spark a memory of something or someone that changed my life in different ways. One of which was a dear friend of mine named Bob. Bob and I had grown up in relatively similar ways. We were two faces of the same coin and as we grew up, it was apparent that our lives crossed paths in order to help support each other. Even though distance keeps us from seeing each other often, he was and always will be a big part of my life. Even now as adults with busy lives and tackling obstacles, we still find time to reach out and check on each other. He will always be the first friend that became family.

I Wish You Knew I Loved You
Every time I see a cherry blossom, I remember you. The dainty petals remind me of your little fingers. Every time I see the moon, I see your eyes. So far away, just like how we are now. I remember those deep, glassy orbs behind your lashes reflecting mama’s beaming smile when she saw you for the first time. As you looked back, I could’ve sworn that the first time I saw your smile, I saw a glimpse of you—of us—in the future, together. Just like that, I had an image of you growing up. I saw you playing in the backyard as I watched from afar. I saw myself taking you to school, holding your hand as we walk together. I saw my future in your eyes. Because to have you then meant having you with me forever. And it was like a beautiful rift in time. In that moment, I became so aware of everything, of what it feels like to be alive. Just like that, everything changed. I was amazed that I could feel that much, to see you cradled in mama’s arms and cooing softly. It felt like the universe softened its heart for a moment when I saw your gummy smile. Watching you from behind the glass felt like an ocean apart. I wanted to reach through and hold you. You were so small yet so beautiful. A girl like you could give a lost man newfound hope. I wish I could’ve held you and felt the warmth of your body against my own. I wanted you to know that I was there, that I cared about you.
