I have many best friends….in fact, I kind of consider all my close friends to be my best friends.  But, if we’re talking about my longest best friend, that would be my Laura.  We go all the way back to 6th grade, where we first met in gym class.  We may have seemed an unlikely pair at the time, but quite quickly we built a bond that has truly stood the test of time.  And all these years later (with a break here and there), she is still considered a best friend and a part of my family.  Here’s a little more about how we met and all that we’ve been through over the years.
