Chasing blue jays

We were 8 years old when we would chase blue jays around the campus while her mom and my sister studied nursing together. I would beg my sister to bring me with her to school so I could play with my new friend. Who would have known back then that would be the beginning of a lifelong friendship, which I am so grateful to have. From chasing blue jays to our hearts content, to sitting at my bedside for hours on end when I was hospitalized for two months, miles and miles away... She's always been there.
