At the end of 1st grade Shayla came home in tears to tell me that Kaylee was moving to California.
Months later, out of the blue, we get a phone call from Kaylee. Come to find out she isn't in CA but still here in CT only 20 minutes away in Stratford! They talked occasionally on the phone for a few minutes every few months.
This summer her mother and I talked and set up a play date. It was a surprise for both of them. Shayla didn't recognize her at first and was very shy in the beginning. The kids started to play and best friends were returned. Kaylee had bought Shayla an ankle bracket that had the broken hearts with "best friends" written on it. Kaylee lost her half at the end of the play date. Her mom said they would find something better.
Trinity wanted to be part of the "best friends" but hopefully she will make her own this year in Kindergarten. Kaylee did bring her younger brother to play but he was a boy and not readily excepted. Kaylee and Shayla would need some time by themselves to catch up and re-bond. (That would happen at a sleepover on a later date.)
Trinity, Shayla, Kaylee
I really like this one. I had to crop Trin out but she doesn't know.
