*If you outlive your friends it hurts, but if they outlive you it could hurt more* (Note: Combat is a bit over to top -- just warning you) Prelude: We were considered brothers because of the neighborhood we grew up in since the seventh grade led us to always hanging out together.

Had she married? Had kids? Where was she? I first met her when we were both 14-year-old freshmen in high school. We hit it off as friends from the beginning. She h...

As far as I was concerned, the object of the game was to get there as fast as possible. Driving straight down I55, it was 273 miles from our driveway to her parent's.
