Do you ever wonder what happened to your old friends from, well, whenever? I mean those that haven't made it to facebook, or twitter, or myspace, or whatever other social networking sites there might be.
I have one who I wonder about constantly. Her family moved while we were still in high school, but she and I remained in contact. I went off to college...we still spoke. Not as often as we had, but we did. I graduated college, moved to Pittsburgh and then to North Carolina...we were still in contact.
One day, I decided to go for a run with my dog and one of my friends. As I was turning a corner, I hit a rock and fell...right on my phone! That night I had to get a new phone...nothing could be saved from my old one. I guess I landed pretty hard! Since I wasn't planning on leaving NC anytime soon, I decided to get a new, local, phone number to accompany the new phone. This is when I lost my friend.
Last I knew, she was engaged. They were waiting to get married for my friend to graduate college. She had wanted me to be a bridesmaid. I assume she is now married, and probably has some children of her own. When I was planning my wedding, I told my mother that the best gift I could ask for would be to have this friend at my wedding. Unfortuately, nobody from my high school stayed in contact with her, besides me.
Some day, I will have the money to find her again. But for now, I'll continue to wonder about my old friend, and hope she is happy, and maybe even wondering about me!
