I recently started dating this guy who is friends with a boy I grew up with. When we were kids we were practically brother and sister but has we grew up we grew apart to the point that we hadn’t really talked in years. One night I go to meet the guy I’m dating at the pub. He is there with all his friends including the guy I grew up with. After a few drinks and a catch up the guy I grew up with told me the story about what happened to the barbie dolls I gave to his sister when I went through my tom-boy phase. He and his older brother ripped all the heads off them and hid them from her. They did this because they wanted her not to grow up to be a proper girlie girl, they wanted her to be like me. “That’s what a sister should be like, a best friend” he said. That night I also found out he’d been sticking up for me when other guys had been making snide comments behind my back. Knowing that after all these years he still values our friendship and is still looking out for me IMMW.
