I'd like to talk about one of my friends, Simon, who I lost touch with but recently reconnected with. We met in high school back in 2015, during our tenth grade year. We were practically inseparable throughout high school, becoming best friends. We helped each other with homework and were always there for one another. After graduation, Simon went to university to major in automation development, while I decided to start working for my dad instead of pursuing higher education. This led to us drifting apart, and we gradually lost contact. Recently, I found a letter attached to the back of my bike. Curious, I opened it and discovered it was from Simon. He expressed his gratitude for our friendship and wished me a bright future. I was deeply touched by his gesture. I decided to call him and invite him out for a meal. We caught up extensively at the restaurant, reminiscing about our shared past. It was a truly heartwarming experience, and I felt incredibly happy and nostalgic about our old times together. I'm definitely going to make an effort to stay in touch with him from now on.
