The journaling reads:
“It’s impossible to believe that Deanna, Shannon, Ann & I have been friends for over 30 years!
We became friends in first grade and grew up together. We’ve shared many firsts together: reading our first book, losing our first tooth, going on our first field trip, having our first crush, and plying our first “Truth or Dare”.
Unbeknownst to them, these girls became my rock, my escape, and, in essence, my extended family when my own family broke apart during my parents’ divorce. Our private lunches behind the curtains on the cafeteria stage comforted me through that tumultuous time.
When we graduated together in 1983, we were the last class of CSHS to attend first through twelfth grades at the same campus.
Even with me living away from Waco for nearly 20 years, we’ve kept in touch, and I have always felt like I could come “home”.
Deanna, Shannon, & Ann have become family to me and are a part of my heritage.”
I entered this in a fun photography challenge on the IHeartFaces website for the theme “Then & Now.”
Do you have childhood friends with which you still keep in touch?
Have a great week!
Hugs to y’all!
