My Significant Other

Sometimes I ponder about the little things. Like what would happen if I had a sister or if I was the youngest. Or what would it be like if I only had one parent or lived in the North Pole. What life would be like then.

And there are times when I wonder if I am at this place for a specific reason. That for all the reasons that I am angry because the traffic was bad or that I had to run back inside for a book or something small that makes what happen happen for a reason. That if I hadn't gone inside to get that book, that I would have gotten in a terrible accident and would have been in the hospital.

Then I think about how if the things that happened to me didn't, then my entire life experience would have been different and I wouldn't be the "too" nice person that apparently I am. That if I would have still been in contact with my friends of grade 8, that I would have been into other things, and not had the great high school experience that I ended up having because my priorities would have changed.

Or how if it weren't for that one night where there was no way for the Blahut's family to come pick Jocelynn up on time, that our Amazing friendship wouldn't have started. When we didn't even know it back then, but how that was the beginning of the greatest friendship in the world. I remember it like it was yesterday.... after some soccer event we were waiting for Jocelynn's parents to come pick her up but then something happened that caused them not to be able to pick her up until way after midnight. So my parents suggested that she could stay the night. When this usually happens, I get a little angry at my parents because I feel awkward not knowing this person and having to entertain someone for a long time without even knowing someone. And who knows, I might have been like that for this incident but all in all she slept over. And the entire night we did not stop talking. Talking to all hours of the night about who we were and what types of things interest us. And from then on we have always been friends. And with every year that passes, we get closer and closer. A year ago, while playing soccer together, we were always paired up together for many reasons. We both have the same running style and technique. We both have the same type of mentality to work hard and the drive to work hard. And we know how to finish each others' thoughts.

When it came time to end our youth soccer careers, we joined the Under 21 womens soccer team. There we started fresh. With a new team, new players and two new coach's who did not know who we were. Ever since then we have been put together for almost 100% of the time for anything. The coaches call us the twins because we always do everything together. We are partners in crime for all the drills and when the coachs talk to us... we still finish each others sentences. When there is a chance to try and get us on opposite teams, they as hard as they can... saying " Ok, pick a partner, now one partner is on one team and the other on the opposite team." Anything to try and separate us. But when we are together, it is like everything clicks.

On the pitch at an actual game, we know where each other are. When I have the ball and I want to pass, all I need is to hear Jocelynns' voice. Which I can pick out of a crowd of a million if I ever had to. I just need to hear approximately where she is and I know she will be there to get it, somehow. And when I play beside her, I don't need to worry about my back because I know she has it covered. That if I mess up, which happens often enough, that she will be there to save me. We also come up with some crazy stuff. We have this one move "Goofy". Which if one of us calls out, then we have our little play between the two of us.

So to my best friend in the entire world, I am So thankful that 10 years ago or so, that God had our paths crossed. You have been the best friend I could ever have and I know that you will always have my back! I love you and I look forward to every time that we hang out, go for coffee and talk. Or plan our next big trip or hang out! Thank you for blessing me with your presence and your friendship! To many more great years of that!
