Growing Apart

[lookashiny]

Did anyone else have a best friend as a kid that they ended up growing apart from?

I was best friends with a girl who lived across the street from me from when I was just an infant through middle school. Then we went in different directions, and we weren't friends anymore. I had other friends, who I had more in common with, but it still kind of sucked.

It happened to me but then that tends to happen when you move suddenly from London to the countryside.

My mother though is utterly amazing at this. She's kept ever friend she's ever made going all the way back to primary school. Well, except for the ones that have passed on.

Wow, your mom is amazing for that!

Moving would not help it at all, I can guess, especially in the days before social media is the way it is now.
