a bestfriend to me is someone you can relate to, someone you can tell anything to and not have to worry about them telling everyone. a bestfriend is someone you can call family, someone you can share any emotion with. people say you can have only one bestfriend but there are three people i trust with my life, three people i classify as family, three people who are always there when i need them most. those three are: melissa mcdonald, karlii card, and samma lindes there what i call my bestfriends. they help me through the tough times in life, from my brother being in the hospital to my parents spliting up. we have been through so much together, and im pretty thankful i can call them my bestfriends. melissa mcdonald: i've known her since i was in kindergarden, we used to hang out all time. until i saw her mom downtown oshawa, and she told me something that made my heart stop. she told me melissa commited suicide the night before. i couldn't believe what i heard, i just couldn't believe it. her mom told me when the funeral was and that if i was up for it i could go. i missed her funeral but i went to her burrial thing. i couldn't believe my first best friend in my life was laying in the casket infront of me. she was the only one who understood why i got in trouble so much. she was always there for me and now she's gone. i do miss her terribly but i know that she's in a better place. karlii card: i met her the sametime as melissa, kindergarden. i remember being five years old overhearing her talking to her mom about her being good enough for everyone, and if she was going to make friends. i also remember going up to her and telling her all she has to do is be herself and she'll do fine, and she didn't have to worry about making friends because she already made one. so from that day on we made a promise to be friends until we borh die. we have had a lot of memories from gathering a couple of her toys and going door to door in our building selling them because we wanted to buy a bike. we got in a lot of trouble though haha. two years ago she moved to Quebec. i thought she was going to be gone forever. we wrote back and forward to eachother. when i went to melissa's burrial thing, my surprise karlii was there, she told me she was staying in oshawa for good. that made me the happiest kid ever. samma lindes: i met her in grade one. when her and her mom moved to canada from london england. everyone in my class thought she was cool because she had a accent. but she didnt give them the time of day because she thought friends had to be formed by talking to one another and not because one has a accent. i remember going up to her and asking her why she was talking funny. she told me she was born in england and everyone there has one. i was like oh sweet. and she she was like yeah wanna be my new friend? i was like yup for sure. ever since then we were unseperable. we have done everything together. from going to the forest trying to find the swamp thing in the creek to going to her house and playing spyro the dragon. then in grade four she moved back to england, and i thought i lost my bestfriend. then not too long ago she came back and surprised me and spent a weekend here. i was more happy then i thought i would ever be. im the happiest kid in the world because i have the greatest bestfriends in the world, i wouldn't trade them for anything or anyone in the world. xox; danielle
