My oldest friend

Razvan is my oldest friend. We even have the same initials: RNP.

I met Razvan in kindergarten when we were 5; this makes us friends for 23 years. From there we went to study together both in primary and secondary school, even at the same high school but in a different class. Since he left Arad and I left Romania we meet every year for Christmas. Razvan...it's when I think about the number of years since we know each other that I realize that we're growing older.

He's in town today so we will meet. Me, Razvan, Ioana, Marian and Nena. We are going to miss a few but in just two weeks everyone will be there, moving from house to house carol singing. It's what we do for years now and believers or not, we all love Christmas because it's the time when we are together. They are my friends from secondary school, some of the oldest friends I have and one of the reasons being home is precious.

Ah, my phone...I am off!
