Its not always what it seems

So we go through our life meeting new people and getting to know them, and letting them into our life. I understand as time goes some people come and some people go. As your life changes so do your friends, but there are few who stay forever. There are few you try hard to keep but for some reason you are not as important to them as you thought. I know that getting married, brings changes and separation from some of your friends, and then having kids brings a bigger gap. Growing older, interests change, moving, jobs...everything can effect a once friendship you thought would last forever. You can try to keep in touch, but you can only try so hard and if the effort is not returned, there nothing you can do.

Its just sad when those friends were there through the most important times in your life, and don seem to care Its sad when they don't realize how much you value the friendship you once had. It's sad to close a door on something that was so special. The truth is though that it must have been gone a while ago.

I have some of the BEST friends in the world, and I have some friends that I wish I would try harder to keep in touch with. Then there are those friends that were so good and special but don't realize that its gone. The friendship that was once cherished is no longer there.

I promise to keep those I have not lost so much more closer and to let them know everyday how much they mean to me. I promise to try harder for the friends that try hard. I promise this year is about keeping in touch to the ones who keep in touch back. I promise to let the ones go who no longer try.
