I called up a long lost friend this morning. I was so nervous; would she still like me after all these years? The joy in her voice when I told her it was me was unforgettable. When we talked and it was like no time had past.
I’ve had many friends come and go over the years. Some angrily cut off contact, some just drifted off, while some just stayed with me through thick and thin. It was hard losing the ones that didn’t want to see me any more. Misunderstandings and lack of communication cause people to take things too personally, I guess. I have a hard time letting go. But then I remember I make new friends all the time and life just keeps going.
I remember graduation of high school. We sang the song “Friends” by Michael W. Smith with tears in our eyes. We are still friends. All those memories locked in our minds together. All the laughter and rage coming out sometimes all at once when we were teenagers. Laughing in class over silly things. Crying over boys. Yelling at each other when we didn’t like what we had to say.
