I have a warm fuzzy that i just have to share.
I have a friend who I haven known since I was One. No joke. When we were infants, we were insperale. My family moved when I was Three and we lost touch (cause, three year olds don't typically make plans of their own or talk on the phone
.)
We ended up at the same camp when we were ten and became best of friends and inseperable again. It was great. Then, a year and a half later, her family moved out of the city, and we lost touch again.
Almost THIRTEEN years later, (meaning about a month ago
) I started thinking about her and wondering about where and how she was, and so I looked her up on ICQ (gotta LOVE that program!!!) and as luck would have it, she was there. I got in touch with her, and now I AGAIN count her among one of the most special people in my life. It is almost like we didn't skip a beat (except for the extreme changes that take place in someone's life between the ages of 11 and 24).
We keep joking now that we have to get intouch at least once a decade. But it is truly amazing to me how we are the most natural of friends such that an entire decade can pass and when we speak, it's as if we've been friends all along
.
If there's someone who you've lost touch with by circumstance and not by choice, and you're thinking about them, get in touch with them. Sometimes you completely miss the void that is there until they return to fill it
