Do You Ever Miss a Friend?

Hope your husband is better and you're stress level is down. I can go a long time without "missing" my friends, but then when it hits, that's all I can think about...Colleen or Genevieve or Daisan or... And when that happens, I have to pick up the phone and talk to them. The reason I can go a pretty long time before missing them is some of us are seperated by thousands of miles, but are held together by years of friendship. E.g., I'm 60 and I've known Colleen for 57 years. I've known Gen for almost 40 years and Daisan almost 30.

Yes I miss many of them but among them there was one friend during my PUC I and II year (in Sringeri JCBM College South Karnataka) Mr. Prashant Mahale. I am dying to make contact with him but I am not able to do it 'cause I don't know his whereabouts. I tried in facebook, orkut, etc. but I did'nt succeed. I think he is in Pune India. He was a close friend of me. We are lost for each other because there was no phone facility at that time.

I miss my friends all the time. I notice when my close friends go AWOL and they notice when I do too. We all miss each other if we haven't seen one another in like a week. It tends to be months before we see each other because of work and things.

I miss all my friends since I was in grade school...but I think I miss my college friends the most. It was during this time that I was allowed to commute on my own to and from school. We went through many things because of our OJTs. I've never been involved with friends more than ever. We graduated in 2008 and most of us have never seen each other after that. Most of them live in far provinces so we don't get to see each other. I'd say I really miss them, the circle of friends I was closest with. But thanks to Facebook and instant messaging, we usually get to connect with one another.

Hi Dorann, I am experiencing it too...missing friends here. i can name some of them and when i see them start a new discussion or barge in, in any discussions i make it a point to acknowledge my friend's presence. see we are truly a family here developing this kind of feeling of missing our friends in their absence. we notice, they notice...i love it knowing someobody missing us here. we a re assured that we have true friends here!

wish your husband to get well soon.. speaking of friends, Yes I missed my friends, its been three years since i left my hometown i miss the old things we do, like joy ride/road trips, mountain climbing on holy week, tripping street foods and many other enjoyable things. I noticed also that you've been gone a while,happy lotting dorann

hi dorannmwin I do not blame you for taking off several days as you had 'a lot on your plate with your hubby being ill and in the hospital. I noticed you were gone but felt you needed some time for yourself and took it too.good on you.several people here whom I knew when I first came on seem to be missing, one was a far brand from Scotland he he. 'I miss her discussions as she could always make me laugh .But I think we have a wonderful bunch of mylot friends on here now and that makes me happy too. good luck and God Bless.

If you're talking about online buddies, I don't have that much. But if it's friends outside cyberworld, well, I have a lot of friends that I haven't seen a while that I miss, although not as much as I miss Nina. I'm not sure if you've ever stumbled upon one of my comments in other people's discussion about her. She's my fiancee's older sister who passed away at 29 last February 10, Wednesday, when her right lung collapsed. She's acquired various illnesses for almost 10 years of being in and out of the hospital. I had known her for nearly 6 years and I'd witnessed her sufferings then but she'd always managed to get out of the hospital with a smile on her face, calling me 'sexy' and 'beautiful' with her high-pitched voice, until that day when I saw her in intensive care unit for the first time looking so defeated and helpless, with tubes in her mouth and attached to different kinds of machines which I didn't even know what they're for 'til then. She asked something for me, which I was unable to give her that first time I visited her in the ICU, Sunday afternoon, and I told her that I would bring it when we come back on Wednesday. We went back to her on Monday with what she asked for but she was sedated. I guess she really waited till Wednesday but we didn't make it. She passed on at 11:12am, we arrived exactly an hour later. There were some things that I wanted to tell her that first time I saw her in the ICU, but tears choked me up. The only thing that I managed to say was "Wednesday. I'll bring it on Wednesday. We'll be back, wait for us". I wasn't even able to tell her that she should be there in her younger brother-Rey- and I's wedding in November. I should have been braver then.

i miss my friends a lot since i cant longer join them to go out coz im saving money right now than to spend it. i remember before when i still have work, every salary day we always go out and dine out, they often called me and texted me. and now that i lost my job i dont know why they just gone, not really gone but unlike before that theres always a call and messages from them.

There are certain "regulars" I've gotten to know through these myLot discussions . . . and I need to stop saying "regulars" and say "friends"! I've gotten to learn their personalities bit by bit and it's always cool seeing their screen names / profile pics - and reading their posts. And yes, I do notice when certain friends are not here and I do miss them! Hope your husband is doing much better today!

Welcome back dorann. I missed you. How is your husband feeling? I know that I had not been on here the last couple of days because of stress and the fact that my husband and I have been arguing a lot lately it has just gotten to me. I know that stress can get to the best of us and when it does happen it is best to get the feelings out or do something else to keep your mind occupied.

There is something we could not control well from time to time. When I was a child, I do not know the importance of friends. After experience a lot, I know something in heart. Once I go to a new place, I have no friends and I have to make some new friends in order to live a happy life, and most of my friends help me a lot. I could not imagine how life will be without frinds.

Oh yes, specially when I remember those times that we spent together. I miss my classmates back in college mostly. They are like the people I spend time with almost everyday. They are like my brothers and sisters so when we graduated, it was really a happy and sad moment. And now its almost been a year since I last saw most of them. And I just miss our bonding. There are also friends that i miss specially those who went abroad or some other place that it's not easy to go to. It's like I miss their company and the talks we once shared. I just wanna see them kind of missing. :)

i really had a great time spending with a friend. he make me smile, laugh and cry. even if he breaks a corny joke,he is still able to make me smile. i used to write all his text messages for me in a notebook where any time i want, i read it and reminisce the moments we had together. it's really great to have a special friend where you can share all your problems with. i call him whenever I'm feeling sad and got a problem with my family.in return, he gave me advices and of course, comfort me. now, we lose contact with each other. i don't know why it happened to be like this. it's just that, a single snap of my finger and it happened! huh..i really miss him. i don't if we could still bring back the friendship that we used to share before. and all i know is that i really miss him.

I hope your husband will be ok. The word hospital I think immediatly stress most people out. I do miss a few IRL from when I was a teenager and thanks for this post because I need to write one of them since she doesn't have the internet that I'm aware of anyway. I do miss a few of the folks posting on here as well whom always have great topics! Me I'm AWOL too fairly often because I'm only on here really the days that my hubby is working otherwise not too much. So basically half the week I'm here trying to make my pennies like everyone else

All the time. There are people who are taking a break from here, and they are definitely missed.

Im overseas and been away from my home town for 3 years and counting... Yes I do miss my friends a whole lot.

Dear doranmwin, I ever missed my friend when I met him/her, because him/her face and him/her appearance has changed significantly.
