For Sydney Wilson, I am saddened by the passing of the very first friend I ever had. Sydney and I were next door neighbors on Rockwood Street and we met when I was one month old and she was 6 months old. We were the very best of friends but as friends will we had spats. My mother loves to tell the story of when Sydney and I had one of these spats. We were probably about 2 years old and our parents separated us. Eventually my mama let me back outside and I went to sit on the small concrete bridge that crossed the creek between our houses. I might have been over it but when Roselle let Sydney out, she must not have been done. She snuck up behind me and pushed me off the bridge into the creek. It is an awesome memory and endears Sydney to me forever. Weve not seen each other in probably 30 years but she will always remain in my heart as my very first and dear friend. RIP to my best playmate Nydney as I called her back then.
