Rekindling old Friendships!

Recently to my surprise I was contacted by a man I knew 5 years ago just as a friend and he reminded me of all the good times we had then.
Out of the blue at that time he dropped me without any explanation, so I wondered what his motive was??
Actually I no longer seem to have much in common with him so I thanked him and made a excuse.

But sometimes I see a friend from years past. And, it is just like we were in contact yesterday and it is lovely to see them.

That is a sign of true friendship.

It's great when that happens isn't it I'm in contact with someone I worked with many years ago. We used to have such fun and when we 'met' up again on the internet, it was almost as if we were continuing the same conversation.

Re: Rekindling old Friendships!

I have a very, very good friend that I went to school with.

We don't see each other for a couple of years but when we do it's like we see each other every week....no awkward silence, nothing.

It's a great friendship...one I'm proud to be a part of.

Yes Rachel, it is great.

Especially when they still recognize you from when you were years younger.

Yes
We've not met up again in real life but there are plenty of pics on FB etc.

We're both fatter (in those days we were like stick insects) and his hair's gone completely white!

The camaraderie in School friendships is really special and lasts a lifetime

It is true, we all change as we age some more than others.
I still see my old friends as they were when young, as their personality the same.

Hmmmmm don't think I'd want to meet anyone I was at school with. Camaraderie? not sure there was much of that going on.

Some people are like that. Not met for years-and I mean over 30 years. Then you meet-aha both have less hair and a rather larger waist but their voice,their smile.
