My friend Vince left for the states. Now he mail's me everyday. We have been close before and still are now. He was complaining to me about our other friends. He said they have forgoten about him, and that they don't seem to care about him anymore. What he said got me thinking. I know for a fact that people come and go in our lives. I know that not everyone you meet and befriends will stay with you. Sometimes it hurts to know that a person you have known for you're whole life suddenly changes and becomes a completely different person. I don't mind having friends that change because I know that change is part of our life, I just wished that when they changed, the change would not bring distance between us.
Do you have a friend You have known for some time and you trusted them completely with you're life. Did you have a friend you loved and adored, the kind of friend you treated like a brother/sister. I had some of those. They changed and now there is distance between us. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time when we were all so close. All I have now are those memories of our friendship. What are you're opinions on this topic? Share them with me and all the people in mylot.

In life so very changes come that it is difficult to behave as you used to behave earlier as with time you mature and naturally you cannot be as childish as when you was a kid. So change is one thing every friend faces for example all of my friends have children and other responsibilities so if they do not have time for me I do not complain and naturally with their needs and responsibilities they cannot attend to you in similar manner. So a friend is on who understands this and is not very commanding.

I also had a handful of friendships that failed. Well I guess that's life! You can't please everybody. If a relationship failed, maybe God has a purpose...it might be to show us that they or their friendships are not worth keeping. I'd rather have just one true friend who'll stick by me for life than have plenty and no time for you. I thank God because I have one whom I consider my bestfriend.
We're separated by distance but that does not hinder us in enjoying a great friendship. We're more like sisters and trust each other so much to talk about almost anything under the sun. We're both comfortable to each other and really enjoys talking over the phone...longdistance...for hours. I also have friends here but this one, I'll treasure and cherish for life. As they say, friends come and go, some you consider silver, and some you consider gold. Eunice is one of my golds...and forever she will be!
