I used to play in Toys R' Us tournaments for the card game way back when it first started. A good friend of mine was in a family that helped organize the event, so she got free event shit early. She gave me a holographic Eevee card. This was when we were still in elementary school too, so maybe when I was like 9 or so? I'm bad with years. Anyway, I've got that card in a red binder that I've kept since then. That card has been with me ever since I got it from my friend.
A few years later, she moved away suddenly; no prior notice or anything. My grandmother knew her mother pretty well, but she also lost contact. So, since email wasn't even a common thing except for rich folk back then, I didn't have any way to contact her again.
Fast Forward to my late high school years, maybe Sophomore year. A good friend of mine who used to be a bully to me comes and tells me he found her on facebook. I was overjoyed suddenly, but then I heard bad news; she was doing drugs. My friend (ex-bully) said he barely recognized her at all. I didn't want to look, because I didn't want the memories I had to be changed. My friend is long gone, but the memories are still there.
