What a journey life is! There are so many different ways we can lose friends. A little part of them always seems to remain with us no matter what. I have a certain friend from high school that I didn't mention in my original post. We were like brothers but he was prone to getting into trouble and just couldn't change his ways. Sometimes I'd get into trouble by proxy so we just stopped hanging out. When I moved away from Ohio in the mid-1990's I stopped trying to contact him. He ended up homeless, a drug-addict, and looks like he's in his 70's. When we get into the phase of life we're currently in the results of peoples' decisions in life really began to show. Thanks so much for participating Nancy! Enjoy your day.
