Friendship is a funny thing. I've never been one of those people that is dying to have tons of friends. Most weekends, I'd actually prefer to stay in by myself. Once in a blue moon, I go stir-crazy and need a night out with people, and then I'm good again. Maybe I'm an introvert.
I miss my high school friends. To be honest, I've only kept in contact with a couple of them. I wish now that I'd tried harder to stay in touch. I love hearing from other people how they are doing, and I love hearing about their successes; buying houses, graduating college, getting married. All of us have had our hard times too. Death, divorce, health problems... you name it.
One friend, I tried extra hard to stay in contact with. But sometimes, someone just doesn't have any interest in being your friend. That hurts. I've never had that experience before and it made my heart feel sad. Ha ha. But really.
I've met new friends too. Friends at work and stuff. I've gotten closer with friends that I knew in high school, and I'm so glad for that. I've made friends with some of Cord's friends' wives, and I am glad I have. I hope I can become better friends with them.
I've also become better "friends" with my family, and with Cord's. There seems to be an unwritten law that unless you are a Golden Child, you just can't be friends with your parents or your siblings while you are a teenager. But now, some of those friendships are the most rewarding I have. Also, I happen to be married to my best friend. He is the best daddy, husband, and friend I know. And man is he a good example of friendship. He would do anything for his friends. He loves those boys like they are his brothers. No one can make me laugh like he can, and I can definitely be my complete self around him.
My point is, if you are one of those old friends, I miss you! And even though we may not talk much anymore, if you are reading this, know that I think about you still!
