I WAS HER FIRST BEST FRIEND

 I was Jeannette's first best friend. We had a bond like no other.  She had a good sense of humor and that made it easy for me to make her laugh all the time.  We shared many happy and eventful moments together as she grew.  As a young teenager at times I would find her in my closet searching for the perfect top to go with her new jeans she planned to wear to school even though she had plenty to choose from in her own closet.  Sometimes I would catch her trying on my shoes even though she was a size 6 and I a 7.  At times I would find her in my room just laying on the comfy bed reading a book or talking on the phone.  She was a beautiful young teenager and had several friends that admired our relationship.   During her teen years we both developed a passion for tasty hamburger and fries.  We went to Wendys, McDonalds, etc.  Her favorite was Jack in the Box.  Ordering her usual, Jumbo Jack, fries and strawberry milkshake.  Then we headed out to Manchester Mall located in central Fresno.  She and I both loved shopping and trying on clothes.  Most of the time we bought a cute top or shorts and we were happy.  Little things in life made us both happy.  We never went anywhere extravagant like on a cruise or fly out to other states, etc.  We did go to the beach at Santa Cruz, Pismo and to San Francisco.  Had a blast and yes, we laughed so much.
