Sir B made an appearance on Momley Moments exactly 12 years ago. Since then, he has appeared here and there, and most notably in a post where he took ASid to his work. An edited version of that post was also published as an article in a local magazine.
The boys don’t need an introduction to Sir B or UB. My brother, who seems to be my only reader, definitely does not need a primer on his own best friend. I guess I just felt the need to provide context in terms of the space UB occupies in our lives.
Recently, it has come to my attention that UB and my brother are on some sort of hiatus. I hope they figure it out. All of this has been unexpected and has given me some cause for concern. It has also allowed me to reflect on friendships in general.
ASid mentioned once how his first
heartbreak was when he had a fallout with his first best friend whom he had
known since kindergarten. The friendship abruptly ended when they were in high
school. Although ASid had many other friends, the loss of this one relationship
affected him to no end. Fortunately, last year, this first best friend reached
out to him and despite the years that had passed since, ASid was rejoiced to
make that connection.
These days, I feel like I am losing some connections of my own too. However, I have also realized that if people want you in their lives, they will make an effort. If not, it is okay to let them go.
