Dana will always play an integral role in my life, no matter where in the world we both end up. Of course I would love living in the same city and even same apartment as her one day, but having dealt with distance already, I know we can conquer it. All it means is that I have a couple of great vacations planned a year.
As I capture this moment in a frame and place it in the center of my desk, I dial the number I’ve had memorized for years. If I close my eyes hard enough, it isn’t difficult to imagine us sitting across from each other at our favorite café instead of hundreds of miles away from each other. I believe this is one of the main reasons why Dana and I have remained so close for so long. No matter how far apart we drift, talking to each other immediately brings us both to home base. In her I see the little three year old girl with the oversized bow in her hair, the equestrian master who was out of town every other weekend at horseshows, and now the intelligent woman preparing to embark on her furthered studies at Colorado College in the fall. I am so proud to know her and call her my best friend.
