Morning.
Steps:
1. Outer space.
2. Inner space.
3. Who is a friend from your childhood whom you have lost touch with? Draw that person as they exist in your memory.
4. Now, inside the frame, write something that you and this friend used to do together.
5. Title: “[your friend’s name], Where Are You?” (If you only remember their first name – or you can’t remember their name at all – that’s okay.)
6. Date it.
7. Send it to me.
I’m thinking of Susie Herbert. They lived three doors down from us on the crescent. Susie and I used to play Marine Boy and Banana Splits – we assigned characters based on what matched our eye color. When her family moved away, we each buried a blade of grass in the hole that the For Sale sign went in, to symbolize that our friendship would last forever.
