some friends, no matter how close we used to be, will still disappear in my life

As I grew up in high school I had best friends. I also had my first childhood sweetheart. When we graduated naturally we swore to always be friends. I went in the Army during Vietnam and became a Field Medic. I am now 58. out of all my friends I have known through my life, My child hood sweetheart and I have managed to remain best of friends for 40 years. Trust me it took work, we both got married and divorced and married again. but it was never meant to be to each other. But the greatest part of our life is that we have enjoyed finding each other either on the computer or cell phone and can just pick up like we live next door to each other still he is in Hawaii and I am in Florida. His friendship I cherish. Its a true friendship as we outgrew the puppy love and realized God had better plans for us to be friends than married. I just sent him our year books from high school as he lost his through his moves in life. When I called him to ask him if he would like them I told him I only had 1969 and 1970 year books. He replied that was all he needed. I laughed and said why is that didnt you go there more than two years? He said well those were the two years I got to know you. He can still make me smile and he can sometimes even make me blush. We were never lovers, But God allowed us to be the best of friends through everything we individually went through. So even when you think you lost your friends, you never know. Good things come to those who wait, and I treasure the friendship that God has allowed us to carry through each other. Good luck to you hon.

Your busyness is not a good excuse for you to drift apart. You can keep in daily contact by Email. If you once out of touch for long time, it is hard to have a intimate relationship again. For another, you should have new friends in new place, I believe there are new friends waiting for you in your life. Don't miss them!

It's too sad to hear that out from you where your friends seems to have forgot the value of your friendship. Anyway, the past are always there to keeps your bonds from being intact from all of the rest of your life. The only advise that I could provide is to look for a new friend where you can easily ask for help or reach when in time of your needs. Good Luck.
