I'm sure you've noticed that with some good friends you've had for a long time, even if you've been out of touch for a whole, its easy to pick up right where you left off.
I met my friend, Mel, in 6th grade. We went to Jr high and high school together. We were friends as we began our working careers, had many different adventures together. Our friendship has endured my moving cross country and back. Both of us have had miscellaneous health issues over the years.
And yet we remain friends.
Today, out of the blue, she called me, and we caught each other up on things. She's moving to a larger apt in a nicer neighborhood. She listened to me b*tch about my mom and her ongoing crises.
There's just something about good friends that doesn't quit. You share so much history, remember the same people, the same events. She volunteered to drove the escape car if I didn't want to go thru with my wedding. That's true friendship!!
Sometimes you don't have to express the entire thought you're having because they just get it. We're both growing older, maybe at some point we will live in the same city -- or even share a house! (Wow, because I haven't lived with someone in over 20 years!)
That's how it is with good friends!!
