saturday day



i took tommy to a friend's birthday pool party. i did a drop and go, which is the coolest part about tommy being 10. i came back an hour early to hang out with sarah. she was there i she didn't want to sit poolside alone. understandable. at the party, i ran into an old friend's ex-boyfriend and their son. their son and my son grew up together; in the same daycare until they were 5. tommy has no memory of this boy. and seeing him after so long was odd. he's about to turn 11! i couldn't help being overwhelmed by nostalgia just looking at him. i knew his mom so well. she was my best friend for so long and now it's been over 10 years since we were best friends and 3 years since we've even spoken. after we left the party i was upset and sad remembering my lost friendship. a friendship i've grieved for so many years now. just when i think i'm over it something like this happends. it really is a small world.
