Spending Time Searching for Treasures

For these two, it has been like old times. Richie and Bry have been friends forever. For us to move, seemed unbearable to two buds who had shared everything and who had plans to go on to college, etc. together. To top it off, we left on Richie's birthday. Not a memory a teenage boy wants to have! These two however have workede hard to stay close this last year. This is not always as easy a task for guys as it is for girls. Guys often times appear to keep their feelings closer to them rather than openly expressing their feelings. This I can imagine makes it hard when during those teen years especially, a friend moves so many miles away. To succeed in keeping this relationship strong is quite a showing of how important their friendship is! It has been fun seeing them fall right back into their old routine. The conversations are the same as they always were. They laugh and tease the girls like old times! The inside jokes are still there. The sharing of dreams for their futures are constant. To be on that verge of leaving home and becoming a man! To have a friend to share the excitement and fears with! To have the time to escape from it all and remember when...as you run through the waves, search for rocks and sand dollars, and drool over cars!!! This is what friendship is all about and these are the times they will remember for a lifetime!
