I have friends that I met in elementary school that are still my friends today. These are special people in my life and together we have a long history. We were there for each other for the ups and downs of the school years and even when we went our separate ways to go to college and start our own families. Years later, during our Girls Getaways we would pick up where we left off as if no time at all had passed. Circle of Friends Socks symbolizes our friendships that will always remain with us regardless of the passing of time.
