Dream of kids

I think I was in my uncle’s backyard and I was sitting at a row of tables with my best friend who passed away. We were sitting across each other with a whole bunch of other kids we didn’t know. He was laughing and smiling and then the next thing I know I start crying telling my best friend how it had been three years since he left me. He frowned and walked away. I’m not sure what happened, but all of a sudden he came back to his seat and he was smiling again
