Friends - Sille's life

I haven’t forgot to write a blog I’ll make that very clear - I just didn’t feel like writing it before now. And since Sidsel wrote about friends last time I’ll be uncreative and ‘copy’ her. In a way… The first friend I can remember having was my dance partner Steffen. Yeah I spent the first years of my life dancing in a white lovely dress, dancing with Steffen every time. The thing was that Steffen wasn’t a very good dancer. At all. I was always the one leading and he didn’t move his feet very often. I still remember him as a friend though, a good one even though I only was 5 years old. The sad thing is, I haven’t seen him since but I can still see him clear in my mind as it was yesterday. Maybe a bit silly but I am silly so that should explain it… The next person who comes to my mind is a girl I didn’t know for very long. Still just like Steffen, I remember her face very clearly. Her name was Andrea, like one of the headpersons from a Danish kids show with a talking frog and parrot. I remember one particularly day we played together. It was before I started in kindergarten and I’m not quite sure how we met. But I know we were making jewelers out of red berries in her garden. That’s all I can recall, but it’s a happy memory without worries and full of silly laughs and lots of smiles… A few weeks ago I talked about her and I said: “I wonder where she is today.” Suddenly my mom answered that she had returned to the Faroe Islands where she came from. It was a huge shock. I mean… I didn’t know that, I’d never known she wasn’t from my hometown. Oh well it won’t change the way I remember the dark-haired girl who lived behind the bakery.

Don’t worry dear reader, this is soon over. I got one friend left. Her I really miss. She was my kindergarten-best-buddy-silly-mate. We were called “hønisserne” which means, if you translate it directly into English; “hay elves”. It sounds pretty silly but we had a lot of fun. Her name was Hanne and she was a younger than I. All the years I spent in kindergarten I remember her being there almost every day. Of course I had other good friends but I still talk with them, Hanne on the other hand I haven’t spoken to for years. And why is that? She’s a year younger than me so she began a year later in school than me. I’ve often wondered what would have happened if we’d started at the same time. If we still would be friends. If I still would be friends with Sidsel. Sighs, oh yeah I’ll never know and now you know a lot about my past-no-longer-friends. Doesn’t that make you feel better and smarter…?
