For as long as l remember, l have had a friend through my childhood and adulthood. We lived 10mins away from each other, grew up together and spent as much time together as possible. We are the same age and it made growing up fun and interesting. We’re a lot alike but we not the same. She was a class ahead of me and l was bothered by it for some time but never did she make me feel less of a person.
We had a children’s cell & all the children in the neighborhood would come over at our house. This was such a beautiful time in our lives and we had each other’s back. As we started growing up things started to change. My friend Brenda and her family had to move. This was really hard for us as a family.
Background
Brenda and l are the same age, born in the same month,date,and year. Our siblings are in the same age bracket and that made us more attached to each other. We attended the same elementary . Some times we walked to school and other times were dropped at school by each other’s parents. So moving meant trying to figure out how things were going to be. It took about 2 years before we also moved in the same area that they had moved into. Jesusssssss l must say that destiny had it’s course concerning our lives. When we moved to naalya we still had to go our school. Brenda’s Dad would drop us at school sometimes. Our family still went the same church which was Watoto and it was a bit far since we had moved house. Then after a couple of years we heard of a great church around our neighbourhood & we wanted to check it out. One of my friends invited me over & l felt l was home then l told my siblings about this great church. Then they also joined me for prayers after awhile.
Remember somehow our lives Brenda and l have changed school,friends,etc
Then l entered our new Worship Harvest church & l saw Brenda’s siblings .We were so thrilled to see each other,we started to scream. Everyone looked at us because it was so amusing and annoying for some people who didn’t get it.
We have history with this awesome family and till this very day we see each & link up. Brenda has 3 kids now she’s married to a man that loves her like crazy. I’m so happy about how life has turned out for both of us. I’m getting married soon so l know where to run for advise. When l lost my youngest brother they still were there for me & my family. It’s been a journey of growth and different experiences but still worthwhile.
These great friendship has stood the test of time.
The journey to growth.
