I met my friend Dawn at the Hi Ho Kindergarten. I barely remember that as we then went on to two different elementary schools. Fast Forward to 7th grade, our first year together in Jr. High. We were both invited to a costume Halloween party by a our mutual friend Christine. Before I say this next part, do remember this was years ago when the Ouija Board was still in the "toy" group and was all the rage..like 50 years ago, folks.
So! Part of the party involved said Ouija Board. Dawn and I decided to try it together. We put our fingers on the planchette, felt a "charge" in the air around us and the dang planchette went flying horizontally across the room. And that's when we realized we had a special bond. We were totally inseparable during the years that followed, and still friends to this day.
She became a nun. She's now Prioress General of her order. And look what I do...lol
We still send each other Halloween cards and she is the Godmother to my oldest child. We can pick up the phone and start a conversation like no time has passed. When I recently moved, here's what I got on messenger from her:
"Do I get a new mail address? Is your email address the same? I don't want to lose track of you. I can't even glimpse the picture of an ouija board without sending you a smile and a loving prayer. After all, we know where the other one hid the bodies."
Now, that's a best friend.
