Briceson

Yesterday when I was at work I saw a very old friend of mine. I was asking Andre if Carol had walked by yet to go back to the booth and then when he said she was still outside I walked off. Briceson was at the self checkout where Andre was was working and he asked if my name was Shawna. Andre yelled for me to come back over and there he was Briceson.

I met Briceson in 6th grade. I used to call him Peebo because of the singer Peebo Bryson. Through the next few years we had become very good friends. He had helped me through the break ups of my first two relationships and we even dated for about 5 months. At that point he was one of my best friends. He helped me through a lot of things, because you know that when you are 15 everything is a big deal even if looking back you realize most of it wasn't so big. He was also around for one big final advice for me. I was in a relationship with a guy who everyone knew it was a bad idea. Nothing bad had happened to me but I believe my friends when they advised me that he was not the person I should be with... Especially Briceson.

But then Briceson and I were no longer the friends that we were before... Still teens I know we had a lot of different things in our lives going on. I am sure I have not seen him in at least 6 years. Seeing him was great. It reminded me how far I have come in life. And I was glad to see he had done the same.
