So true. This resonated with me so much. Two summers ago I reconnected with my best friend from Junior High after losing touch for 20 years. In that time, there had been marriages, divorces, adoptions, and transcontinental moves ... but even so, it was as if nothing had changed between us and the next thing I knew I was flying over to Paris so my kids could meet her! You're so right - when we love someone, they take a place in our heart that's uniquely theirs that no one else could fill!Milou Koeningshttp://www.miloukoenings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-685392697609047382014-01-22T16:51:00.415-08:002014-01-22T16:51:00.415-08:00See what I mean about shared memories?

A good friend is something we never want to lose.

Brought home all the more because just last week, a good friend from the past died, just out of the blue I enjoyed her so much when we lived closer, ands now deeply regret the years we could have stayed in touch better.

I hope you and yours have a very happy reunion! And, for the record... *hand up* as one who tried the dreaded cabbage soup diet. LOL. It actually worked for me the first time (after having a baby). Years later I tried to go back on it, but couldn't stomach it again. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000830378253624843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-5363924517685276072014-01-22T07:15:17.082-08:002014-01-22T07:15:17.082-08:00Very true about the New Year.

Last year was a stressful one for me personally and I'm pleased to be able to leave that behind and move forward. I prefer to look forward rather than backward.

As I get older, the years seem to go by even faster. Looking at old photos makes me realise how I've changed and my children have grown older (well, I've grown older too!) but you don't see the differences in the day to day. How lovely that you were able to reconnect with an old friend! That's really wonderful.Kate Hewitthttp://www.kate-hewitt.comnoreply@blogger.com
