Anna Prestopino is my best friend in the WHOLE world. Wow, that sounded really childish- but it's true, so it had to be said! We have known each other now for 11 years :O
We became BFF in kindergarten- and have been that way ever since even though I moved 2 hours away 6 years ago. I can't believe how long its been. There are so many memories of Anna and the two of us in general that seem to be recent events.
I remember how she used to LOVE Barney, and that's ALL we could watch when she came over :) I remember how she was petrified of horror movies. I remember the carrides to school, and on the way we would watch the lion king 2. We would always fast forward to the end so we can sing Grazing in the grass. I remember how we used to detest Carl in all of his "Sean John" glory, and how we obsessed over guys like Marco & "our dog Louie" lmao I remember our many memories in Sunny Hill, mentos Big Red rat face & assface being most recent lmao XD
I remember playing at the park and when the ice cream man came ( I always used to complain that it was the good humor man instead of mister softie), eating ice cream bars- the ones with the wrestlers face on it. And Anna would get the Tweety Bird sherbet on a stick with the gumball eyes. And she ate it so slowly, I said she eats slower than a bird. :D I remember her beating up this kid Franco who was picking on me at recess in kindergarten. I think that was the day our best friendship was TRULY established.
I remember going to the movies with Anna and her dad- and after one, we'd sneak into another- Anna's dad called this the double feature. I remember how Avril lavigne obsession stage that lasted for YEARS ON END~this goes hand in hand with the "tomboy stage" lol. I remember trick or treating every Halloween together. I remember how we were in the same classes for our whole elementary school career (except for one year) because Anna's dad was the PTA president. I remember being on Little League with her, and her never missing a hit- at least that's how I remember it. I remember wanting to move into a mansion together with a TON of animals. I remember how we wanted to be animal cops. I remember how clumsy she was and how she ALWAYS used to fall- and would get super pissed if I laughed at her XD
More recent memories, I remember going to her beach club, hanging out with michelle & her, meeting mikey ;) and the hilarious fight that ensued one day while playing baseball with a bunch of kids. I remember going to Crosby pizza, and accidentally skipping out on the check. i remember obsessing over Johnny Depp, Rent and Twilight. And when you make your self eggs and toast at 2 in the morning. and an ice cream sundae at 12 in the morning. lol On a more serious note:
Anna, I remember when you were hospitalized for your punctured appendix and a million of other things I fail to remember at this moment. I remember a few days before you were hospitalized, you were texting me about how badyl you were cramping and I was sooo worried for you. It was really scary for me to see you in critical condition hooked up to an oxygen tank, catheter and like a million IVs, barely able to speak. You, who was always strong for me. And for once, i was the one who could be strong for you. I really thought I was gonna lose you, I can't imagine what you went through. And I know you continue to face ordeals since then, whether it be health related, emotional related or family related- you've been through alot. But I know that this will only make you stronger and that as long as you and I stick together, we will overcome everything.
And my sweet 16- and we both cried at the end and held each other cuz we were so happy I'm finally getting better. That's the thing- NO ONE has ever cared about me and my well being as much as you have. No one understands me and what hardship is like you do. You are the only one who can truly sympathize, and the only one who loves me so unconditionally I can hardly bare thinking about it without crying. You and I have SUCH a deep connection. And I feel like I dont express it or tell you enough- and if i dont- i hope this make ups for it: I love you soo soo much Anna. Your friendship means the world to me, and I always think about you when I need comforting or confidence. I'm always missing you and I constantly worry about you. I want you to have the best that life can offer you- and I know you'll go for it. I care about you so much, and I feel like you are apart of me- you are the sister of my heart. You are the most loving person I've ever known. And know that whenever you need me, i'm always there for you! Now that I'm doing so much better I'm gonna make an effort to be physically there for you- and in 2 or so years when I go to college, I wanna move down there and rent an apartment together- no joke. Like this isnt kidstuff dreams anymore- let's do it! I can't imagine rooming with anyone else. And together, we'll take the city by storm.
Again I love you dear :)
