Today, I noticed my friend wasn’t at school, and the classroom felt a little quieter.
I missed their smile and the way we laughed during storytime and games.
I hoped they were feeling better and thought about all the fun we’d have when they came back.
During recess, I told the teacher and my classmates, and we all sent our best wishes.
I drew a colorful card with balloons and stars to cheer up my friend.
Even though they were absent, I knew our friendship was strong and waiting for their return.
When my friend came back the next day, we hugged and shared stories like no time had passed.
Missing a friend made me appreciate how special they are in my life.
