#38, Angela Solarz

Angela, you were my troubled friend when i was ten or so... we both had a hard time, it seemed. You had a clear, open face, glasses, and a long, straight, light-brown ponytail. You lived with your mom in a tiny dark house next to the grocery store in our neighborhood. I was always scared in there. What did we do together? I can hardly remember. You moved away, and there was a sleep-over party for your birthday there, at the new place. My mom drove me, and it was like night and day. Big, bright windows, white paint on the walls, brand-new apartment fixtures, new and shiny friends. I didn't see you after that. Where are you now?

Heather!
You moved to montana and we wrote a couple of times and then lost contact. My childhood was a very hard one, my adulthood is much better because it belongs to me. I don't know why today I googled my name (some vanity I suppose) and saw this posted and couldn't believe... there you were!

I've moved to CT now just a short time ago from FL.

Would you believe I've looked for you on several occasions just for pure curiosity?! Always wondered what happened to my friend who was so good to me even though I was such a stranger to most.

Thank you for remembering me.
be well,angela

Oh, my god? Angela! i can't believe i haven't looked at this until today, so sorry i didn't see your comment sooner! How amazing that you found this! And the weird thing is, as i was telling my boyfriend, for most of my posts i leave out the person's last name, purely for privacy reasons. But for some reason, i wrote your out in full. i guess the planets all aligned right :)

Take care...
