Naive

Once I was naive enough to believe that my childhood friends would always be my friends. It is true that I still feel love toward many of them, but I've not spoke to most of them in years. Oh and in high school, I just knew my circle of friends would always be in my life. However, most of them went on to college, and me, I married my high school sweet heart, got a job and had a baby when they were graduating college. I don't remember even speaking to them much after graduation or my wedding since that was only 2 weeks after graduation.

In my 30's I had a circle of friends that I felt would always be a part of my life but...things change. People change, marriages dissolve, churches let you down, people even die and some take their own life. Gee, some even commit crimes and go to jail. Do you really known anyone? I don't understand. Now 10 years later I barely speak to those people who were so important in my life just 10 years ago. Was it me? Was it them? What happened? I miss them. I long for old friendships and simple times. I long for friendships like long ago. I am so thankful for my 1 stable, love me always, forever friend, my husband of 27 years.
