Wow...been quite a while since I posted a blog here...wasn't sure if this site was even still active! LOL! I've been reviewing old blogs from over the years and reflecting on friendships...those that have long since gone by the wayside through no fault of my own, and those who are still hanging with me!
I had someone I considered at one time my very best friend in the whole world...Kelly. I have fond memories of our friendship over the years and every once in a blue moon I'll stumble across some of the sweet emails we sent back and forth to each other. The way our friendship ended...the ways she treated me so badly, I don't hold it against her any longer. I hated her for a long time, but that time has since past. I know she's had a rough life and I still pray for her often. She'll always have a special place in my heart.
Callie was another close friend...we chatted for many years...prayed for each other...shared with each other...until one day out of the blue she just disappeared. When I found her again, she alienated me, blocked me from her social media, ignored any attempts I made to communicate with her and find out what had happened. A theory I have...in no way has any proof whatsoever...just a feeling...she converted to Catholicism and I'm thinking she was instructed to cut off all ties to everyone in her life outside the Catholic Church. I do miss her and the encouragement we use to give each other....life goes on.
I have a couple of other friends (Brandy & Ashley) who got married and have what appears to be extremely dominating and possessive husbands. Without warning or a word, I was blocked from ever having any contact with these friends I've been close to for over a dozen years....a draw-back to having a lot of female friends....
There is another friend (Donna) who I was very close to for many many years, but has disappeared from my life, mainly because she cared for me beyond friendship that I was not at a point of reciprocation. And for that, I was cursed to lose a very meaningful friendship. I wish her well...I think about her often.
But, all is not doom and gloom! I do have some very very special friendships that have lasted the test of time. These are people (online friends) I hold in the highest regard, mainly because of their value of friendship and the importance it plays in our lives.....Kerith (almost 14 years), Dixie (16 years), Sue (22 years), Diana (going on 23 years now), Kristine (16 years), Candi (19 years), Vanessa (almost 14 years), Lisa (13 years), and so on....hope I didn't miss anybody...lol.....these are the friends with a noble character....people who would never think to abandon another friend, stab them in the back (at least not before telling them...haha)....these are the special ones!
