I recently did a discussion about friends who were not your friends that you stopped talking to,and it got me to thinking I used to have a friend that I played Yugioh with and he was not always the nicest person,and he used me a little but he had a good heart,and a while before I met my wife we did not talk as much,and when I met my wife,I stopped using AIM which is where I talked to him,and I did not talk to him for two years,and I lost his new number,and I forgot where he lived,I remembered for the most part,but I forgot exactly where to turn,and I had talked to my wife about him,and how I wanted her to meet him,and then one day at Wal Mart I saw him and it was awesome,and he gave me his number again,and then I saw him a few days later,and I told my wife,and we went to his house on my day off and she got to meet him,we invited him to our wedding and I was happy he got to see me and my wife get married,and now me and my wife both talk to him on AIM and he is teaching us how to play Magic,and I am going to teach my wife Yugioh,and we try to hangout with him whenever we can,and I think we are gonna go hangout with him on Halloween since I am off that day,I have included a picture of my friend so my questions are Are there in friends you did not mean to lose touch with?Did you ever see them again?Do you wish you could see them again?What would you say to them if you saw them again?What is something you used to do with this friend?If you got married would you want this friend to be there,I eagerly await responses to this discussion,but please only share true stories that are serious and to the point,Happy Mylotting.

Hi there HellCowboy. I lost touch with a good friend of mine within a year after high school. We were best of friends all the way from the 2nd grade, and all through high school. Her parents even got me gifts for Christmas every year.
After school, she went to college and I went to vocational school. We both got married, but I moved away. She had children and I didn't, so we didn't have a lot in common.
Then, her husband got killed. I called as soon as I found out, but she was going through a lot, and her dad just took a message. This was about 8 years after high school.
But then, a few months after her husband was killed, she called me out of the blue. She needed someone to talk to, someone different I guess. I drove the 475 miles on a Friday night and stayed until Sunday morning. It was great that we got back in contact.
We now go on vacation together from time to time, and her kids think of me as an aunt-like person. I am glad that, even though we live so far away, that we have become friends again.

I can't think of any friend that I hadn't seen in the amount of time that you and he had stopped talking. I remember you telling me about him though, and I remember you saying you used to talk to him through AIM but there was a while that we were hardly on the computer, and then when we were, we were mylotting so we didn't have much time to be social. Now we're mylotting and don't have much time to be social, really, but we're trying to fit people in, especially with you having a job and me hoping to soon!
I love you!
