My aunt passed away recently. That night, my BFF Sam called to see if I wanted to hang out on Friday. I told her the story. My aunt and I were really close and Sam knew that.

The next day I went to school because hanging around a depressed household is not fun. Well, all day, in the halls, at lunch, and in class, Sam would look over and give me a smile, tell a joke, and give me a big hug. She was so great and she just checked on me all day. If I even started to look or feel sad, she was right there to help. Her hugs and her smiles helped me so much.

While I was two hours away at the funeral, she called me to let me know she was thinking of me and she loved me. Anyway, I thought that this is what a BFF should be and I wanted to share this story. Sam was the best BFF anyone could ask for. So thanks Sam, and I love you.
