A great night to you all.

I am not going to talk about anybody from my family, but it is almost as if she was, because she is like a sister to me; my best-friend in the entire world, with that status for almost 14 years now. We met in September, the year of 1995, first grade, first day of school. Our adventure started then. Since then we have done pretty much everything together. We always had our own especial world in which was hard for other people to get into. Everyday we would get home from school and her grandmother, one of the most sweet persons I have ever met, would be in the kitchen waiting for us with the table set, full of cookies, sandwiches, and everything two little girls love to eat after coming home from an exausting (like we would say) day of school.
Everything we did, we put all of our hearts to it, even when it came to do a decent funeral for her dead fish. We had been watching some movies, so we came up with the idea of cremating it, and then throwing the ashes to some really symbolic and meaningful place. For that, we grabbed a match-box and put the fish inside. Then we came down from her apartment directly to the garden, where everything would happen. We said some words, trying to be as good as the people from the movie, and then we set the match-box with the fish inside on fire. We waited quite some time, half an hour I would say, but all we got was a completly destroyed box with a cooked being inside, and a terrible fish smell. The fish ended up burried.
We had a lot of stories like this one, but it was not only on the good moments that we stood up for eachother. Everything that happened throughout our lives until now. Even when she had to move to Lisbon, we kept talking everyday. She was always really important to me, helping me make decisions, helping me with everything that would come up. It is great to be able to share all kinds of adventures and stories with the same person for 14 years. We always recall the same episodes, the same memories, it is really nice to have someone who understands perfectly how you feel when you talk about something that happened, let’s say, 10 years ago. She had a great influence on me, in every situation she would be my shelter, my protection, almost as if nothing would happen to me if she was around, and that's a great feeling for one to have. Like that really known song (at least at the moment), " 'cause these moments don't mean anything, when you got no one to tell them to". Friends are one of the best gifts you can get from life, and I already got mine.
One should always have someone special around to share every single moment, those which stay in our minds forever. Everything has a different and better taste if you can share it with someone that really understands and sees you, in a way that probably no one else can.
