We went trespassing on neighbors'' properties. We threw dirt bombs. We played and got dirty. He lived across the street. Same Kindergarten class.

Jody's family moved away after second grade.

Two years ago, after much online searching, I found him again. We're now tight again, sharing e-mails regularly. It's like nothing changed. He's now one of the oldest/longest friendships.

Hope to see him visit in a couple of years.
