10 years ago…

It’s amazing the things that can change in ten years. And it’s amazing the things that’s don’t change no matter how much time goes by…
10 years ago my bestie for life was still actually my bestie for life.
I remember being at her apartment. We’d just recovered from a fit of laughter about something or the other.
I said to her, still giggling and wanting the good time were having together to never ever end, “You know where we should go again? Windows On The World.”
She immediately sobered, stopped smiling altogether. Then so did I.
She looked at me, her eyes sad suddenly and replied ” Desiree, it’s not there anymore.”
