I often find myself thinking about friends I have lost touch with. A sense of guilt shortly follows. Sometimes I search Facebook trying to find them. Most of the time I have no luck. There are friends from the past that I thought nothing could ever tear us apart.
My best friend from High School, Melissa, is a perfect example. We spent almost every waking hour together our last two years of High School. We even had a temporary time of roommate experience. Things happened and we went our separate ways, only to find our way back to each other a short time later. Again, our days and nights were spent together until we met our current husbands. I moved away, we each had kids, and we each had new lives. With everything that careers and family require, how can you stay close with people? The one thing I have found through our friendship is that it is a "true" friendship because we don't require each other's attention 24/7. We now have an occasional, "hi, how are you doing?" through Facebook. When it comes down to it, we will always have each other's back in a time of need. I believe we both know that without having to say it.
I have been blessed with a lot of friends that I thank God for every day. I also have a busy life and can not text, talk, or chat every day. That doesn't mean I don't care about my friends. I know that my "true" friends understand that and respect it. I also know they have busy lives also. I love that about them and respect it. So, for all of my wonderful friends that haven't heard this lately, I love each and every one of you in a special way. Now smile at the thought of that because it may be another week before I can find time to say it again. :-p
