I've had two very close friends at two very different points in my life. In high school I was friends with M, who was a Thin Mint-friend, to coin a phrase. We did everything together. And then for one of those reasons that only teenage girls know, we drifted apart. Flash forward nearly 20 years and we reconnected via facebook. Thick as thieves again. <br /><br />Another didn't take such a happy turn. My best friend, former roommate, the person I did everything with, a second sister, and I drifted apart shortly after I started seeing my now-husband. I tried so hard to keep things the way they had been, even blowing off the guy to spend time with my friend because I always hated those women who ditched their friends for a boyfriend. Unfortunately, it was not to be. We drifted, I moved out, and we haven't spoken in nearly 8 years. I think about her often, but also realize that she wasn't able to recognize that I was moving into a new phase in my life and that didn't mean I was leaving her behind...it just meant that things were changing. It was sad...but also showed me her true colors. <br /><br />I'm so thankful for reconnecting with M, my high school friend, because we can still laugh like we did when we were 14, but part of me will always miss my other friend. Isn't it funny how friendships have expiration dates? <br /><br />Great post!WashingTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987548913994006257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-769625919976094759.post-65533633635187502052010-12-02T12:36:00.656-05:002010-12-02T12:36:00.656-05:00This was a beautiful story of friendship.
