Twelve years ago today I saw my best friend for the last time (little did I know it would be). To observe this date, here are twelve memories from that beautiful day spent with Stephanie.
1. We went to the Baltimore Aquarium during the day.
2. We had dinner at Houlihan's near the Aquarium. (That location permanently closed three years later.)
3. Stephanie's mom taught me how to use my glucose monitor that evening, as it was when I was just starting to regularly check my blood sugar. (I rarely have the need to check it anymore.)
4. The chopped salad I had for dinner that evening was the best I've ever had, even to this day.
5. We saw a dolphin show at the Aquarium.
6. While watching the dolphin show, I ate a sandwich that I had brought from home. This was why I only ate a salad for dinner. I wasn't very hungry.
7. The sea creatures at the Aquarium were mesmerizing.
8. The weather that day was cool and misty. I didn't wear a coat...and I regretted it.
9. It was during my spring break. (It was during what would end up being my last year of teaching.)
10. We were celebrating Stephanie's birthday, exactly two months late.
11. It wasn't just Stephanie and me who were together that day. There were five of us.
12. My last memory of my best friend is a happy one. It was a good day.
