How did you meet your closest friend?

Ever since kindergarten my best friend has been Marc DuMoulin. Since we met in kindergarten you would think that the memory of how we met would be blurry to me but it is not at all. When I was in kindergarten my little sister, Claire, was in preschool. Every day after kindergarten was over my mom and I would walk over to the preschool to pick up my sister. Every time I was there another kid my age was there as well. I never really put much though into the boy because I had really only seen him once or twice before in school due to the fact that we were in different kindergarten classes. Then one day I was getting my backpack from my locker and I bumped into him as I was backing up from my locker. It took me a little but then I realized that he was the kid from preschool and we had a quick conversation about that before being shuffled back into our classes. That same day I saw him again at preschool and we talked a little more. Then for about a week we didn't talk anymore and I pretty much forgot about him. Now to understand this story you have to understand a fact. Just behind my backyard is a parking lot for a physical therapy building. So about one week later I was in my backyard playing when I heard a noise coming from the parking lot. I looked over and there he was. He was running around the parking lot with his two younger brothers and they were chasing after a cat. I was interested by the cat and immediately joined in and for about 10 minutes we chased the cat around before it finally escaped for good. By this time my mom and come over and was talking to Marc's mom and they soon made a connection. Both these connections lasted a long time and to this day Marc and I are still best friends and Marc's mom, Janelle is one of my mom's best friends. Till this day Marc has proven to be a great friend and I am very happy to call him my best friend.
