Life’s surprises are what make it exciting. We might think we know someone well or make future plans with a close friend, only for things to change suddenly, giving us a whole new situation.
The Story:
I had a best friend in middle school. Her family was really nice, especially her mom. We used to pretend to be sisters, and we spent every day after school and every weekend together. On my 13th birthday, my mom told me that she wasn’t my sister, but her mom was my half-sister. My mom didn’t want to tell us earlier because she thought it might ruin our friendship if I knew she was my niece. It didn’t.
