Friendship

Is it possible for two people to share the same memory of an event that never happened?  Or is the mere idea of such, so profound it simply defies mortal explanation.   To hear my very best friend tell the story, I taught myself the art of tightrope walking when I was in my early…

“She’s my little Bunky and I love her very much.”
