My Best Friend - Kenna Harrison

So today, I was sitting in class while Mr. Nicholas was explaining the assignment and I really had no Idea what I wanted to do! Then I started to think about things that have happened in the past week and it came more than clear, the MOST important thing in my life, my cousin.


My cousin, Sam, is my best friend. I love her to no end. She is leaving tomorrow to go to Baltimore, Maryland because my aunt got a job… We grew up together. I was always at her house and we became the sisters neither of us ever had. She cut my hair when I was little causing me to have to get a bull cut, we used to fight over the prettiest Barbie, and most of all our favorite outfit for them. It was a white jumper with gold shorts or a skirt that went over it, with gold boots. IT WAS EVERYTHING! We adored that outfit! But we did have our fights, hair was pulled and tears fell but we always still somehow ended up playing together!


Then they moved… I thought the world was over… They we’re gone for five years. But we grew as people… She went her way and I went mine. Then finally she moved back two years ago. The first year she was back we didn’t really talk and we weren’t all that close, but then this year… I can’t even explain… She had new experiences, as well as I, and we really could help each other with whatever was going on in each other’s lives. I met all her friends and made some new friends that I will keep for quite a while because of her. Basically she became my number one. I can’t even begin to explain how much I completely adore her. She has showed me that no matter what bad happens in our lives, good can always come out of it, and trust me, she would know!


After becoming accustomed to having her around, I now have to completely alter my way of life. She is still just a phone call, or MySpace message away, but it’s not the same.


Earlier we went to their house to say our last goodbye and I haven’t cried that much in a while. I’m going to miss her like crazy. She has showed me a new way to do things and a new outlook to have on the way I see the world. She will forever be my hero. She is such a strong willed person and I truly look up to her because of it.


I will miss my cousin, my sister, my Barbie buddy,

and most of all my best friend.
