It's funny sometimes
Jul. 19th, 2005 07:22 pmIt's funny sometimes when you're not quite sure how to feel. Like when you find out an old friend who moved overseas has been in town and you didn't know.
A friend from uni, once very close, now somewhat distant after 4 yrs away. 4 years of seeing her when she squeezed us in briefly on shorter vistis: an hour or two's awkward conversation after she arrived several hours late for dinner. Never sure of the growing distance between us was being apart or just personal change. Only last time I knew it was change. After a bout of severe depression her husband, once a mate and good company was a shadow of himself and she, she'd retreated into a kinder, gentler reality where life was soft around the edges and everyone had a good heart. After that, we didn't chat so much, rarely seeing each other on line and I'd been wondering... where to now? What becomes of friendship after so many years? Just cut the ties and let go? I'd been thinking about it. Guess she made the final call.
