After graduation, I went away to college, so I lost touch with all the friends I graduated high school with.
The one friend I had since 6th grade dropped me the day I got married to my ex-husband. I tried to make amends, she wouldn't have it.
A few years before I got divorced, I ran into one of my high school friends. She saw me in a store and screamed my name from clear across the building. We've basically picked up where we left off all those years ago, except she's married with two children now.
When I was a teenager, my father told me things like this would happen. And of course I didn't believe him. I thought the friends I had then would be my friends forever. Forever is a very short time in the scheme of things.
