thoughts of walking to class and a random gift

shared by Steve Young, her friend from high school

During freshman year of high school, Cyn and I used to walk from 5th period to 6th period every day. I'm not sure how it all started, but I remember it was something I looked forward to. She had Spanish and I had French. We would also walk back to our lockers after 6th period. The day didn't feel quite right during the few times we didn't have our walk, like forgetting to comb your hair in the morning. We still stayed close during the rest of high school, but I think we would both say that during that year our friendship was the strongest.

Fast forward to our first year of college. Out of the blue I get a postcard that read "I could spend two hours on a swing with you, not say one word and that would have been a great day." I can't remember the exact words, but it was something to that effect. Hands down, one of the best random gifts I've ever received in my life. Only Cyn would ever give a gift like that. We hadn't talked since the end of high school, but it was a gift I will always cherish and remember.

Her hugs always made me feel loved, her words always made me feel special and her smile always made me feel alive. I miss you, Cyn.
