Dear good friend,

It’s funny that our friendship started with one random question.
One question about a jacket.
That jacket had a logo that I recognized.
That logo I knew was a summer camp logo, from Camp Baldwin.

Every day you would walk into the classroom with that jacket but I never asked about it, until finally one day we were painting the class mural and I decided what the heck. So I asked the question that would start our friendship.

“Did you go to Camp Baldwin?” I asked.
“Yeah, my mom is the camp director,” you told me.
“Wow, that’s cool. It was the first summer camp I went to.” I told you.

From that day on, I pestered you with questions about the camp. You answered every question with ease.

I don’t think that you know this, but you were my first new friend at this school. I know I never told you this, but thank you for all the laughs throughout our friendship. I have never really had a friend like you. I just wish that I would have asked that question sooner rather than later, because maybe just maybe, we could have had even more laughs and more of those moments when we hear a word and burst out laughing. Only if I would have said those six little words, we could have had a greater friendship. Even though we had our ups and downs (never really downs), we still make the best friends ever. Thank you.

From your friend, age 14
