I heard a movie quote once that went something like this "I never had friends as close as the ones I had when I was 13. Damn, does anyone?" It is so true, at least for me. Whenever I go home to Halifax it is as if I have never left. I don't talk to my friends there regularly. Life seems to get in the way of casual chit chat but I know that if I ever needed one of those core group of guys, they would be here at my side in a heartbeat and I the same for them. Thanks for sharing such a great story and inspiring fond memories for myself.
