Do you have friends you have grown apart with?

[rusgiftsaolcom]

I have a few childhood friends that I have grown apart with over time. But I'm trying to get in touch with some of them just to keep in touch with once again.

There are people I've been friends with over the years who have disappeared for a number of reasons.  I believe we are meant to meet these people for a reason, but it's a shame we can't be friends longer.

YESSS! I do and it is sad. I've tried to talk to them before but the contact still fades.  :/

I don't let myself get sad when I stop talking to my friends. I go in with the expectations that my friendships wont last forever. This has happened several times and I realized that I always reconnect with my "important" friends. it was meant to be i guess.

Yes, I had a friend all through high school.  We were more than friends, we were like sisters, we were joined at the hip.  We graduated and started working (at different places).  She moved about 30 minutes away and got married.  I was in her wedding and we still were close.  Time went by, we kind of saw less and less of each other.  I heard she got divorced and I got married.  Sadly she didn't come to my wedding, I lost track of her, had no idea where she was (this was before Facebook).  I haven't seen or heard from her in years.  I tried Facebook, but don't know if she's remarried.  It's sad, but I guess that's life.

Yes

I moved from California to Oklahoma, and unfortunately I feel like I lost all the friends I made in California, so I understand what it feels like to have drifted away from friends.
Now that I'm in Oklahoma, it's been very difficult to make friends because everyone out here already has their cliques and friends that they've grown up with and it's difficult to work my way in to their groups.

Unfortunately this just seems to be a part of life and a part of growing older.  I have friends I have grown apart from...some I am ok with that and some I desperately wish they were still in my life.

I agree I had a best friend for four years and then we never talk anymore and I don't know where she is.
