Woman makes childhood friend's day with a sweet message reminiscing about their kindness

Childhood friends often create cherished memories. Sometimes, a trip down memory lane brings back the warmth of those bonds. u/breakablewildone shared a post revealing that their childhood buddy experienced this warmth. “Text I got from my childhood friend this morning,” they wrote. The woman sent a text to her friend to share something important, followed by a heartwarming message.

“15 years ago or so, you made me an egg sandwich. You scrambled some eggs in a pan with some salt and pepper. You put it in a bowl, added some mayonnaise and put it on toasted bread. It was one of the best sandwiches I’d ever had in my life,” the message read. However, it was not just the memory the woman wanted to share. She added that at 22 weeks pregnant, the sandwich was one of the things that brought her comfort. “Now, at 22 weeks pregnant, I have had the same sandwich twice a week. Thank you,” she wrote. The person was overwhelmed with emotion and shared the post.

They mentioned that they hadn’t met their friend in a long time, but the bond was intact. “We haven’t seen each other in over ten years, but we catch up from time to time. We shared a birthday, so she was my ‘twin’ growing up!” they wrote. People were smitten at the idea of a wholesome reunion through messaging. Many found the woman thinking of her friend during her pregnancy too adorable. u/ToxInjection wrote, “That’s precious! For her to remember that simple meal you made for her years and years ago? And for it to become part of a pregnant woman’s cravings? That sounds like the highest of praise to me.”

u/Redahned1214 said, “I read something that says we’re predisposed to love whatever our moms craved when they were pregnant with us. If that’s true, then they shaped two lives with one sandwich. I’d be so proud of that, I’d put it on my resume.” Many people suggested the person catch up with the friend and even meet her. However, the two were reunited on the forum and had a wholesome exchange. Commenting as u/NovelGlass653, she said, “Hi! I’m that childhood best friend! I did eat that egg sandwich this morning and it was just as good as the day they made it for me. My daughter is due September 30th and since I was 10 weeks pregnant, I have been eating that egg sandwich at least twice a week.”

Along with a sandwich recipe, people got a heart-melting story to brighten their day. u/DenimDandelion wrote, “Wholesome. You never know which simple thing will be the one people will take with them for the rest of their lives.” u/moonshinemondays exclaimed, “Reaching out like this over little things can mean the absolute world to people. Should be done way more often over the littlest of things.” u/alxjnssn wrote, “You don’t realize it when the moments happen; next thing you know you’re recalling a sandwich someone made for you for the rest of your life.”
