Have you ever had a friend that you’ve lost touch with for
no reason other then time and space? A
friend who used to be so close to you, someone you shared everything with? Now they are a name of someone you use to
know. You think about them often, wonder
how they are doing and what they are doing.
Has life changed them over the years?
Or are they still the same? Do
you have other friends who will ask about him/her and if you have heard anything
over the years.
I have one such friend.
She’s not on facebook( well she is but not really active on there) but I
can find her if I google her name. I
think about her often, still remember her birthday and her anniversary. I remember the beautiful blue eyes of her
oldest child but never got the chance to meet her other two children. I’ve seen them in a few holiday cards over
the years. A couple of years ago our
Christmas card was returned in the mail.
It said “Address Unknown”. I was
a bit sad and it seemed like our last connection was gone. I’ll be the first to admit that I maybe let
the friendship go. We shared some pretty
amazing memories and stories. I often
smile when I remember some of our road trips (Skiing in Whistler, the many
times I drove her to the airport to fly back home, etc) and all crazy chats and
nights out on the town (in my younger years).
As the holidays approach I am finding myself thinking of her more
often. I hope she is well, happy and
enjoying the holidays surrounded by loved ones.
