Question: Describe a favorite childhood friend and something you did with her or him. {Today I'm picking 2.}

I had quite alot of childhood friends since we moved alot. Growing up one of my earliest memories of friends {besides cousins that were near or my brother who is 13 months younger then me} is Meghan Labrash when we lived in Vanderhoof, BC. We used to spend hours in the woods by our house building forts all day long or riding bikes. She spent lots of time with our family since there were alot of kids in our family she loved to come over. She had two older teenage siblings so she loved to spend time with all of us. She was Catholic and I remember I went to church with her once and learned alot that Sunday. I learned the difference of the lack of a spiritual feeling, and the spirit that I felt going to our church it was a great learning experience for me that I still can remember the feelings of that day. I remember the feelings of passing the plate, of kneeling before sitting in there benches and doing the father son thing..... Anyway lessons learned at a young age. We had alot of fun and I haven't talked to her in forever and wonder sometimes where she is and what she has done in her life. Its sad when you lose contact with friends. Anyway she was a great friend and we had lots of fun growing up.

Check out the beautiful cake ! ha ha I was 7 years old here.

My other childhood friend is a boy named Cass Miller. We were friends forever since we were babies. The kind of friendship where our parents set us up from birth made jokes about it and encouraged it. The kind of friend who you've grown up together then he becomes your first crush at a young age. The kind of friend you can't wait to see and talk to cass was a year older and always nice to me and everyone. He is one of the most christlike people I ever met at such a young age and throughout his teenage years. We had so much fun. Cass was more special then your average childhood friend, Cass had Cystic Fibrosis and had to take a lot of pills and had to be pounded three times a day { to loosen the mucus in the lungs} everyday by his awesome mother. Our families were best friends we did everything together and when we moved away from each other our family trips were going to where they lived or they would come where we were. I remember playing as kids all the time doing everything together with my brother, Cass and Reo {Cass's younger brother.} We loved climbing trees, running in the fields, building things, having birthdays, holidays together and riding horses Cass loved horses. We had to be careful not to tire Cass out. But we made the best use with all the time we had!! He was so fun. I really miss him a lot Cass passed away just short of 21 years old. He was the best friend a girl could have from babies to teenagers. He was a great example to me he went through so much and was the nicest boy I ever met{before D of course}. He had the best laugh and liked to tease. I had a big crush on him in my early years. I miss him like crazy. Definitely one of the people I look forward to seeing again after this life.

I just love their family they are all awesome people have been through so much and can you imagine the pain of losing three out of your six children to Cystic Fibrous. They are such examples to me. Love them. I look up to them so much. Wish we could see them more often. This was taken when they came to visit my parents in 2005. GREAT PEOPLE.

*Here's another random thing I used to love this headband I remember my dad bought it for me and he rarely bought us anything and I absoultely loved wearing it. I loved this dress too I remember wearing it quite a bit funny how times change I'd never put a dress like that on Lauren now ha ha!!

So there's a little history for the books try your own with the question each week and together we'll get our personal history going. Sounds fun right! At least its one way to do it.

Well have a great Easter weekend!!
