Oh summer... parting is such sweet sorrow!
It’s almost time to say goodbye to still-light
nights, eating popsicles and riding bikes. Pool parties, BBQs, and the odd
too-hot-to-bear crafternoon indoors, I will miss you dearly during the glum
winter days ahead. But most of all, I will miss my summer friends, those
special people who come around when the sun is shining and make each school-free
day extra fun!
My cousin Carolyne is my favourite summer friend. There is
almost no one that I’ve known longer; we’ve been friends since birth
(hers, of course, since by that time I was already a mature six months). We’ve
done it all; playing in laundry baskets, staging stairwell productions of The Sound
of Music, and indulging our embarrassing love of a certain dance movie
franchise. But then she had to go and move away for school. So now our
friend-fest is summer only… Sigh!
Before we said goodbye for yet another school year, she and
I had a little fun with Me and My Friends! We gabbed and giggled about food,
friends, and being carefree for one more week, as we filled out pop quizzes,
compatibility tests, and more to commemorate our awesome friendship. So now, on
those days when her absence is particularly stinging, I can look up all the
reasons that she’s totally worth the wait!
