Special bond by Jake Donley

Understandment is key for special bonds. You don’t have to say your joking. You don’t have to explain why you feel sad. You don't have to worry about them making fun of you. A invisible, silent understanding that connects people deeper than words can. This bond is never broken.

The day that allowed me to experience this bond starts when another normal day starts at my pre kindergarten school. Something in my gut was telling me something about this kid. I had no clue what it was I felt I should do. The next day I decided to say something to him. I casually asked “Do you want to be friends?” He looked confused and shrugged me off. On the next day I followed up with the same question “Do you want to be friends.” This time he said “Sure I guess so.” All the while neither of us knowing this would be the friendship of a lifetime.

Today, me and Anthony are still great friends. Although we don't go to the same school nor district, we are able to hold onto our bond. This bond of understanding each other without saying a single word is truly a special one. We can communicate words and feelings with just a glance of the eye or head. It is impossible to know what it’s like without experiencing a bond like this one.

I believe understandment is the key to great relationships. Once you truly experience this bond with a friend, is when you will truly understand how special that bond is.
