Childhood memories in beautiful Argentina...
I still remember the names of my friends back then: Esteban, Leo, Daniel, Guillermo...but not much more than that... Esteban was my close neighborhood friend, and our families would do a bunch of stuff together... Leo was the short one, and his parents were concerned that he wouldn't grow... I think I considered Daniel to be my closest friend, but all I remember is sleeping over his place this one time... I only remember Guillermo because his little brother would laugh "ho ho ho ho"... Pretty crappy memories, huh?
It's been over 14 years since I've seen or talked to any of my childhood friends. And when I say "childhood," I mean the prime years of that most innocent period.
I think these were my happiest years because...
I can't say much about life right now... College had its shares of ups, but there were too many downs... Junior high and high school was all about fitting in, and I hated that crap... Elementary school was decent but it can't really compare to the joys of living life as a simpleton little kid... Hahaha...
Anyway, that was my posse...
I bring this up because on Friday I'm being reunited with two of these guys, Leo and Esteban. The unfortunate thing is that we're meeting under the crappiest circumstances, Leo's grandfather's funeral... What do you say to someone who has tragically lost their grandfather? What do you say to someone you haven't seen in a decade and a half?
Oh, to return to happier and simpler days...
