An Old Friend

I recently got in touch with a very dear childhood friend of mine named Sal. We spent a good deal of time together playing with LEGOS and star wars action figures as young children. We stayed friends for many years through middle school and high school. Such was our bond that as a young girl my parents allowed me to stay the night at his house. Throughout middle school and high school we played games, talked, supported each other through tough times and hung out. Ours was a deeply forged but completely platonic relationship. Sadly, as is often the case, we lost contact and went our separate ways after high school. I saw him briefly a few years ago right after I had my second child. When we talked, he was as I remembered him from high school. With all the best intentions, we anxiously made plans that never materialized. Even more years have drifted by since then but it looks as though may be a some gaming afoot! I am so excited at the prospect of seeing him and hanging out! He mentioned playing D&D and although I'll need to dust off my books and look under seat cushions for my dice, I relish the notion!
