My best friend in elementary school. Only knew her a year before we both ended up moving. When I saw her again it was great! But it also showed just how different our lives had become. It stung even more because she went to a highly Christian college and I realized I was queer. I had to face the thought that she might not be safe to come out to.

Kinda a different vibe than other commenters but when my grandpas dementia took a turn, it was 2 years of mourning his mind before we mourned his body too :(
