Last year when we were camping at Fintry I asked Shane a question in the game of truth or dare. First, I had asked him what the worst thing he’d ever done to a friend before. He refused to answer. I then asked him what the worst thing a friend had ever done to him was. I knew the answer right away. I knew it had to be about when Justin had cut Shane and Josh out of his life so completely when they had once been so close. It was, of course.
I sat in the tent and thought about the worst thing a friend had ever done to me and couldn’t think of a good answer. One time I hadn’t been invited to a birthday party in ninth grade but this was not very hurtful and it certainly had not cut me to the core so that I was still feeling it to the day. I didn’t have to answer because I had not been asked.
Today, if I were asked at all, I would have my answer.
