Molly and I were friends from ninth grade until several years after graduation. Molly just turned into someone I couldn’t be friends with anymore. But while we were friends, we were super close. Senior year was a tough year in a way. Rachel, Sara, Molly, and I were the core group of four in the group of friends. Molly had all of us come and pose for pictures in her senior shots, and I still have those pictures to this day…we were all SO CLOSE. But senior year, Sara and Rachel were in the Color Guard while Molly and I were not. They bonded over that and it created sort of a dramatic divide in the friendships. Sara was friends with both of us still, but she and Rachel were hanging out more without us because of trips and practices and things. So Molly and I got much closer, we were inseparable our senior year. I spent lots of time at her house, her parents are some of THE NICEST people you could ever meet. They, like Sara’s parents, always treated me like their daughter. If I’d ever needed them, I know that I could’ve gone to Tom or Mary-Mann with a problem.
I often wish things had turned out differently. When she wasn’t driving me nuts, Molly was an amazing friend. I really thought she’d be standing up with me as a bridesmaid someday, that’s how close we were. Life happens, things and people change…maybe someday we can be friends again. You just never know. ;)
Either way, I DEFINITELY am glad Molly was in my life. She was around for me a lot, and I’ll always be thankful Sara and I sat down at the table with the new girl that first day of Home Ec in the 9th grade.
