It pulls at my ...I'm just now seeing this post. It pulls at my heartstrings. I too agree my high school friends have been my best. The people that know the real me, have watched me grow, held my hand through life's big ups and downs, etc. Even though I moved 5 hours away 7 years ago, I'm blessed to say I still have connections with many of them. A few I've been friends with since 2nd grade... 19 years! I just wish I saw them more than once or twice a year *sigh*<br /><br />I made a few friends in college, but none of them really stuck around. And making friends as an adult is a real challenge. Meeting them is the first hurdle, but then once you do everyone seems too consumed with their own lives... babies, spouses, jobs, etc. I long for a small group of quality, tight-knit friends.<br /><br />On a side note: you live in Billings, Montana?! My new boss in Kansas City came from Billings. He's actually working there today. His family is still there until they can find a house in KC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-51936927606923639522013-03-13T13:35:17.522-06:002013-03-13T13:35:17.522-06:00Sunshine Soul.

I was so isolated growing up that I missed really "knowing" the kids around me and they missed getting to know me as well. We can't go back and change things but what memories we have is what made us who we are today. SO no matter what role a person plays in our life... there was a purpose in the meeting.

I really appreciate it. The friendship in this blogosphere is not to be underestimated. His memorial service is tomorrow and while I know that will be hard I know it will be good, too. And that I'll get the see and hug a lot of those people that I'm missing so much right now.

High school fri...I'm sorry for your loss Beth.<br /><br />High school friends always tug at your heartstrings and losing one is pure anguish. I think it stems from the fact that they were the first people we bond with outside the family at a time it is so crucial to find acceptance and love as we grow into adults.<br /><br />On a brighter note, every friend I ever lost has left something behind deeply imbedded in my heart. We learn from our friends. Ms. Margaret taught me it is okay to say negative things about people (unlike that popular momma saying) if it is the truth and doesn't hurt anyone. My 5 year old friend taught me to "practice my dance moves" which is now my euphemism for experiencing all of life's moments as they come.<br /><br />Josh was a treasure and all those moments you shared will be with you always. And know you will find friends as you age, but it seems those that shared your youth have a special place in your life.<br /><br />I will find some appropriate time and action to honor your friend and the passing of his soul.<br /><br />My thoughts are with you.........Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032479084775154076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-44898929196353362032013-03-06T00:26:02.763-07:002013-03-06T00:26:02.763-07:00So sorry to hear such sad news about your friend

I am about 40 years older than you and still feel all the same emotions--longing and regret and what I should have done. <br /><br />High school is definitely not the best period of life. Okay, unless something drastic happened afterward to ruin the rest of a person's life. But, it is such a linear, peculiar period of familiarity, something hard to duplicate afterward with a new group of people. <br /><br />Deaths of friends and family sends me into a funk that comes and goes for months, even years in the case of my mother and brother. <br /><br />It's too bad we have to have these bad things happen. I sincerely am sorry for your loss and consequent pain.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
