In life  the greatest gift we have as human beings is the gift of having good friends around us. Growing up as children we had some trusted smart, troublesome timid friends around us. And they really made our childhood days phone because without them we would not have people to play with, fight and laugh with.
I grew up in an environment where there were a lot of kids and due to the fact that I'm a very social person and a very troublesome one and that I had a lot of friends around me.

In all of the friends we had some very very close to us  and some were just  friends from a distance, how does close friend name was blessing  we happen to come from the same state local government in our village was the name or a village with my so for the father we can speak the same language we are very close to the point that during Christmas we will still meet in the village that was what made it fun. She was the only friend that was very close to me during my childhood days. I was just kind of a child that was playful and troublesome but she was different. She was very quiet and come so we don't really have issues because you always stay out of trouble while we still keep going as friends. I like the fact that she was very calm and she was very simple most of the times should you advise me to stay out of trouble she does not have much things to worry about unlike other kids that will always fight with me and quarrel me she was different



So me and blessing will be up together we went to the same school and we're in the same class we're sitting close in school everyone in my school knows we were best friends so if I'm late to school we are late together if I'm early to school we are early together is what we called friendship and we were partner in crime.
Blessing mum used to sell fried yam in the evening hours, Saturdays she will come to my house and stay and later in the evening we will go to imam shops where mum sell fried yam, we will assist the mum to sell, her mum loves me so much because I was smart and active and friendly to customers, at some point the customers thought I was her daughter because I will also go there to help her out and most especially to eat the fried yam 😁😁 lolz 😂😂.

Well life happens blessing dad and mum got a divorce we are having issue in their marriage to the mum had to leave the marriage and she relocated to worry and she left with blessing and her siblings that was the worst things I've ever heard during that time I felt so bad was begging blessing to stay she can stay in our house or even stay with the dad so we can still continue the friendship but there was nothing I could do we were separated, 


Since you were read children back then I didn't have a cell phone so there was no way we could connect each other aside from the mum calling my mum and we'll talk over the phone the relationship god breaking and breaking to the point that we don't even talk again, the mum lost her phone and the connection ended. Thank God for Facebook we got to connect back but then we still can be that close friends again, we hardly chat, just lost our bond with her and have not seen her for more than ten years now so I still can't say she is my best friend. We used to be but distance separated us.
