FRIENDSHIPS EXPIRE

October 31, 2019 5:35pm CST
When I was younger, my friendships lasted for over ten years. I had friends that when we introduced each other to strangers we'd say "this is __ we've known each other since the second grade" it was such a huge deal to us. So much so that now when i get older i see those older than me with very few friends i reflect and think back to those I lost. LIFE ultimately changes us, we get married, have kids, grow apart etc its such a difficult process-- but life works in stages.

Agreed. With passing time friends also get changed. I also used t have many friends but currently I am in touch with only few.Rest ...some I haven't contacted for a long time and some haven't contacted me for a long time. You know but the best thing about childhood friendship is that even if you met after decades they will meet with you as if they have just met few seconds ago. Friendship is the best thing in this world.Blessed are the people who have friends with them.

I agree, childhood friendships just flow no matter how much time has passed.
