FRIENDS
1. In kindergarten your idea of a good friend was
the person who let you have the red crayon
when all that was left was the ugly black one.
2. In first grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who went to the bathroom with you and
held your hand as you walked through the scary
halls.
3. In second grade your idea of a good friend was
the person who helped you stand up to the class
bully.
4. In third grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who shared their lunch with you when you
forgot yours on the bus.
5. In fourth grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who was willing to switch square dancing
partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck
do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nicky or Smelly Susan.
6. In fifth grade your idea of a friend was the person
who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.
7. In sixth grade your idea of a friend was the person
who went up to Nick or Susan, your new crush, and
asked them to dance with you, so that if they said
no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.
8. In seventh grade your idea of a friend was the person
who let you copy the social studies homework from
the night before that you had.
9. In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals
and old baseball cards so that your room would be a
"high schooler's" room, but didn't laugh at you when
you finished and broke out into tears.
10. In ninth grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who went with you to that "cool" party thrown
by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only
freshman there.
11. In tenth grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who changed their schedule so you would
have someone to sit with at lunch.
12. In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was
the person who gave you rides in their new car,
convinced your parents that you shouldn't be
grounded, consoled you when you broke up with
Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom.
13. In twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the
person who helped you pick out a college, assured
you that you would get into that college, helped you
deal with your parents who were having a hard time
adjusting to the idea of letting you go...
14. At graduation your idea of a good friend was the
person who was crying on the inside but managed
the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated
you.
15. The summer after twelfth grade your idea of a good
friend was the person who helped you clean up the
bottles from that party, helped you sneak out of the
house when you just couldn't deal with your parents,
assured you that now that you and Nick or you and
Susan were back together, you could make it through
anything, helped you pack up for college and just silently
hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18
years of memories you were leaving behind, and finally
on those last days of childhood, went out of their way
to come over and send you off with a hug, a lot of
memories, reassurance that you would make it in college
as well as you had these past 18 years, and most
importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved.
16. Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who
gives you the better of the two choices, hold your hand
when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to
take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you
are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten,
helps you put the past behind you but understands when
you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you
so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make
time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you
deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they
are sad, helps you become a better person, and most
importantly loves you!
Pass on to those friends of the past, and those of the
future... and those you have met along the way...
Thank you for being a friend.
No matter where we go or who we become, never forget who
helped us get there.
There's never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a
message telling your friends how much you miss them or
how much you love them. You know who you are, pass
it on to someone who you want to remind.
