Sarah and I met in college and instantly fell into an intense, sisterly friendship. I thought I would know her forever.
After college, our lives diverged. I moved to New York City and started a career. Sarah moved back home, down south, got married and had kids way before I did.
As the years passed, we had less and less in common, it seemed. I drifted farther and farther away. I stopped answering her calls. I was too young to understand that old friends are the ones who can remind you of who you once were. I was too young to know that while we may grow up and shed our younger selves like snakes molting skin, those selves are still
Sarah and I were connected on a level deeper than all that, and the fact that I'm not going to be pulling up my rocking chair next to hers in a nursing home some day makes me sad. I blew it. Sarah, if you're reading this, I'm sorry.
