Michelle and I had been best friends from grade 5 up untill the end of highschool. I graduated one year before her and then we sorta went our own ways. We grew apart and our lives took two very different roads.
Michelle lived in and out of different places, she got into drinking and smoking and eventually into drugs. She hardly made it out of highschool and had no asperations to go on and improve herself any further. I wanted to succeed with anything and everything I set out to do.
When I got married I wanted to reconnect and tried but she was still in a very different place. Seems though that now our lives are not so much similar but she has got back onto a beaten path.
While up visiting my parents THE MAN and I went and visited Michelle. She is in a nice townhouse living with her boyfriend. They have a 5 month old daughter "FAITH", the cutest baby you ever saw. Not once did I hear her cry and she was full of smiles and laughs, despite teething and being congested. THE MAN took our pictures with and without Faith and I went and had them printed, I lter returned for another visit bringing gifts. We intend on staying in contact with each other from here on out.
Its funny how we went 8 years without speaking and we just fall into a very comfortable rhythm and pick up things right from where they had left off it seems.
I also want to mention that Michelle from the day she found out she was pregnant has been clean and sober. I do not believe that babies cure or fix problems and in general more often just enhance the problems and difficulties that already exist. However it seems as though FAITH was a very good thing for Michelle and allowed and assisted Michelle in becoming the very person I knew her capable to be all along.
