You just got a call. Your best friend (male or female, but NOT boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/etc.) is in the hospital. They are fine physically, but as a result of a yet-undetermined event, they have no memories whatsoever- total amnesia.

They are essentially reborn, and have no recollection of ANYTHING from their years on this planet.

YOU are their best friend, assume you've known this person since EARLY childhood, grew up together, that sort of thing. You go to see your friend in the hospital. Keeping in mind the parents are there, and eternally hopeful that any exposure to their past will help them recover.........

....what do you say to your friend?

I mean, other than recanting your entire past history, what would be the first thing you say to them?

I would say, "hey... i've got X number of years worth of memories of you. If you never get yours back, I'll let you have mine."

If you can, explain why you would say that.

NOTE: This is a sensitive subject. Post well, and sincerely. It can be funny, if that's what you'd say to them, but no horsing around on this. Making fun/stupid comments will not be tolerated on this one- it's very important.

Thank you all for understanding.
