C & L Frosty Relationships
When I walked into the C&L Frosty's restaurant, I saw the picture was still hanging on the wall. Frosty' s had been our sponsor when my fourth grade team won the little league championship. It's been almost ten years and the photo of the winning team still hangs above the ice cream cooler. Since my parents got divorced and I moved in 8th grade, there have been three friends who I've spent numerous vacations and holidays with. These are friends that I not only still talk to and see periodically, but my relationships with the whole families are just as strong. For example, their parents are people I can call and have the same conversation with as my mom, and they are also parents who I can play golf with without my actual friends coming. Aside
from their parents, these friends have been people I’ve gone to school with from preschool to 8th grade, and their people who are family to me, not friends because they come and go, but these three families will always be family to me. When my house sold in 8th grade, I knew I would never be able to bike over to my friends house everyday after school or even just pick up the phone and call them to see if they can hang out with me anytime. My overall presence would be gone from 27 Deerfield Road. I've laughed with them, had fun with them, and they've supported me throughout my whole life in Sherborn, and I couldn't have asked for more. From the shy and small kid who I use to be, I love how I can pick up the phone and call my friends or their parents and just have a conversation with them, someone you can open up to and express your feelings. They aren’t just kids you go to school with and have fun, but there more than that. While my presence may not always be in Sherborn, I know my spirit will always be there. It’s taught me everything I needed to know before I ventured out into a new part of my life. Sherborn is who I am. While I continue to meet new people everywhere I go, and live in new places, Sherborn will always be it's own. While I don't live there anymore and I may not always be spending time their with my friends, all I have to do is remember the picture that still hangs in C&L Frosty’s, and I will know my spirit is still there.
