There just happen to be some people in this world that regardless of how many years you've spent apart, will always know you, respect you and care. And even though years may pass, it's those childhood friends that you grew up with, that never seem like strangers. And maybe for me, it's because I grew up in a very unique situation and perhaps, it's because those that grew up with me know the same feelings, the same memories, the same people that make me feel so comfortable around them after all this time.
It's ironic, that here in Hawaii, I've reconnected with two of the boys I grew up with, two of them that's kept in contact in with over the years but haven't seen since I left the Middle East. And in a place that has taken so much from me, I guess it's also given me a few things in return as well. There is something about a childhood friend, that always makes you feel like you know them, maybe better than most, And sometimes when you are missing everything in your life, it's a night out with the kid you grew up with that makes all okay, at least for now, for a while.
