Best friends


They play together in school, they eat together, shared their sweets with each other, and even fought together! Yes, when Jeremy had an altercation with one of his classmates, his best friend stepped in to the rescue - with the result that all 3 were punished. By hey, that's what friends are for!

This is Caleb, Jeremy's best friend in school. Looking at the pictures, I must admit they make an odd pair. Jeremy is skinny, Caleb looks big and strong - he attends a boxing gym class too!

I think it's great that Jeremy has a best friend. Couple of weeks ago when Caleb went early to school, like 7+ or something, Jeremy said he wanted to get up at 5 the next day so that he can go early too and play with Caleb. Obviously it didn't happen...

We all know that Jeremy hates having his photo taken - his school graduation shots were minor disasters. But just look at these... it was moons ago that he had smiled so sweetly or contentedly before the camera. Alas they will be going their separate ways in their own "big boys' school" next year. But these moments in childhood are probably the ones most savoured and treasured as they grow up - those spent with your best friend.
