Some time ago I started a discussion about an old friend that I wasn't able to find. I wasn't able to call her because her old phonenumber didn't exist anymore and we didn't have any mutual friends that I could ask about her new number. Today she suddenly called me She said that had lost my number, but some days ago when we went through some old papers she found a piece a of paper with my number and she decided to call me. I was really happy to hear from her and we talked for a long time. We gave me her new number and she is going to visit me when we return from Asia.

hi Porcospino,
thanks for the response, that's why i appreciate western people will travel more and participate in the voluntary work, neither i have travelled more nor i have helped in any voluntary work,it is necessary to live first for that we have to struggle,if food completes then buying home will come in the scene, but still not settled in life, i think that those who have money does not have heart,those who have heart does not have money, i do not say that i am having heart and but i say western people having heart and money also,have a nice day.

No, I am still in Denmark. My trip to Asia starts in November, but I will not be able to meet my friend before my trip because we are both busy at the moment. I am going to do some voluntary work the last month before I leave for Asia and I also have my normal job, so we have decided to meet when I return from Asia She will visit me in my home and I really look forward to seeing her again. Sometimes I do the same thing as you and contact some of the people that I haven't talked to for some time. It is nice to hear some news about their lives. I have added my friend's new phone number so that we will be able to stay in the touch in the future.

I can understand how it feels when we loose contact with our old friends especially with our good old friends. I too had a very close friend in school days. After 10th, her family shifted to another city in the same state. We both would communicate on phone, through letters and cards. This continued for another 10 years. Then she got married. Before her marriage I asked her to give me her new contact number, she said she has my number and will message me her new number later. But she never messaged or called me. Then one day I called on her old number, luckily her brother picked up the phone. I asked him to give me her number. He gave me one number, but no one ever picked up that number. Again after a few days I called on that old number, but that number did not exist anymore and so I lost contact with her. I tried to find her on facebook also, but couldn't find her till now. I just hope she is fine and doing good.
You are extremely lucky that your friend finally contacted you. Hope you both be in touch forever. May time and distance never affect your friendship! Good luck!

It is sad that you have lost touch with your close friend from school. It sounds like you have done what you could to get back in touch with her since you both tried to call the old number and looked for her online. There a also a couple of my old friends that I haven't been able to find. One of them was my friend from elementary school. We have lost touch, and I have tried to find her on Facebook, but so far I haven't managed to find her. I was really happy when my other friend called me and we will definately stay in touch from now on.

I think I respond on that discussion of yours, and I'm glad that you find each other. I have set of friends that I'm still searching too, that two I already found and I'm glad that we still friends even we been lost for almost 20 years. Seeing old friends are great there are many things to catch up.

Yes, it is great to see old friends again after a long time. After 20 years a lot of things have happened and there are many things to talk about. When my friend called after the long period where we hadn't talked we had lots of news to exchange and we talked for a long time. It was very nice to talk her again. I hope that I will also manage to find a few of the other missing friends in the future. There are a couple of old classmates that I am still looking for. It could be fun to meet them again, we haven't seen eachother for 15 or 20 years.

Yes, I was really happy when she called me, because I had been trying to find her new number for a long time and I was wondering how I was going to get in touch with her. It was a wonderful surprice that she suddenly called me, I didn't expect that at all We talked on the phone for a long time, we had to many things to share because we hadn't talked for a long period of time. She is going to visit me in when I return from Asia and I look forward to that.
Don't worry about the emails, just reply when you have time I haven't been able to write a lot of emails recently, because I have been busy with work. When I returned to my home I didn't really have the energy write long emails to my friends, but I am less busy with work now and I am going to answer the emails from my friends during the next couple of weeks.

Wow!What a sweet experience!A few years back something happened with me and it made me realize that miracle do happen.I was out of home in a city and had stayed at a hotel.One night I remembered one of my childhood friends I had not seen for a long time.I was thinking about him as a waiter knocked at the door to inform me that there was a phone call for me at the reception.I went to the reception and there I saw a man filling in the register.He was going to stay at the same hotel.After attending the call,I turned to go to my room and then I saw he was the same friend of mine.He had come to the city for some urgent work.We saw each other and the next moment we were in each other's embrace.
Was it not a miracle?Or,was it a coincidence?

Wow, that was so sweet. I can relate here. Also, the last time I saw this friend was like 2 to 3 years ago. We never had any communication in between due to several reasons. I wish I could find a way to contact her, don't know where she is now. No common friend or whatsoever. I just want to rekindle the old friendship we had even through the web. Thanks

I understand that. I hope that you will find a way to get in touch with her or that that she will contact you. Sometimes it is hard to find old friends. I still have a couple of old friends that I haven't been able to find. One of them in an old classmate, but we haven't seen eachother for many years and I think that she might have another name today (if she got married) I still haven't given up, and maybe I will manage to find her one day. It could be interesting to talk to her again and hear what she is doing today.

This is cool that you were able to find your old friend that you were looking for, and really neat that they want to get together again with you once you get back from Asia. Sounds like something to look forward too.

I have the same problem with my phone book. I have the phone numbers of old friends, but some of them have changed their numbers since we talked, so I am not able to get in touch with them. Have you tried to find your old friends online? I have been able to find some of my old friend on Facebook and we got back in touch, it is not always easy to find the friends that we are looking for, but sometimes we are lucky and manage to find their news addresses and phonenumbers. I plan on buying a new phone book, because my old phone book is too messy and full of old numbers that don't exist anymore, so I want to start over with a new phone book.

Aww that is such wonderful news. I bet you are so happy. It is so nice to be able to reconnect with friends we havent seen or heard from in along time. Facebook helped me reconnect with friends I havent seen from since high school. There are girls that moved away and I never saw or heard from again. One of them I am still searching for on facebook and hoping she pops up. I would love to see what she has been up to all these years.

Oh! I miss one of may true friend in school. I was sad about her. She got a cyst on her left arm so it should be cut to prevent the spreading of the cancer cells. Until now, i don't have contact with her because she's still undergoing a chemotherapy.

I am sorry to hear about the things that your friend is going to through. I hope that they have caught it early and she will be able to recover.
