years ago… i had a best friend… a girl i hung out with non-stop. we took class together… we skipped class together. we went out to eat… for drives… partied together… etc. i started seeing a guy… and started to spend less time with her. due to my immaturity and naievete at the time… a couple of our friends wrote and said some really mean things to me. it hurt my feelings that my friend would do this… plus that my other friends would write such cruel things to me. i would sob this to my boyfriend at the time and he told me that i needed to cut it off with them. that true friends wouldn’t do such things. i had thought this was such a harsh response but i was hurt and i didn’t know what else to do. at the time it seemed like the best thing to do… so i had basically told her that i could no longer be her friend.
i would think about my friend from time to time and she was a really great friend… we used to be inseparable… we were like sisters plus best friends!! and since i was an only child it was perfect… to have such a wonderful friend. anyway, due to the time that had passed… we just never got back in touch… until…
this past week. a friend found me through facebook. i couldn’t believe it. it was her… my best friend lost. she contacted me and we decided to get together because she was in town. when we got together… it was as if no time had passed. we just laughed and told stories… and caught up on what the last 10+ years have been like for us!! although we probably can’t be instantaneously best friends once again… i am sure and i am hoping that our friendship will be mended and that we will be close once again! i am so happy for her… she has a wonderful life and she deserves all the blessings she has received!!
xoxo, d!

That’s sweet! Isn’t it funny the DRAMA we have when we’re teens? Remember this in 10+ year with your own kiddos.

I hear ya!! I’m hoping my kids don’t go through something as silly as this in 10+ years… it’ll save a lot of heartache!! However my friend in all her years of wisdom did say that we wouldn’t be who we are now… if we hadn’t gone down the paths we did… so here’s to being FRIENDS!!
XOXO Amy!

Sometimes you just need to take a different path, lead separate lives, and come back together when you are ready . It’s hard to know when to let go so you can both grow apart without being apart… if you know what I mean. I’m glad you had a happy reunion and hope you have many more fun days of catching up and getting close!

Thanks Jane… I totally hear ya!! I am hoping that our friendship blossoms from here… but now we are many miles apart… so we will have to work on it via the internet!!
