… I get this call from a friend – a friend I haven’t heard from in 12 years.
At age 12 we both shared a horse, and one day she calls me and says “she’s not going to come to the horse anymore” and that was the last time we talked to each other.
We were best friends. We slept at each other’s houses 14 days in a row etc. Just the perfect definition of best friends. She went on holidays with me and my family and things like that. And then boom – from one day to each other. And the friendship ended in such a weird and awkward and of course, sad way.
Anyways, there’s this site Lokalisten.de. People from German (I think also Austria and Switzerland) cities and suburbs join that page if they want. I searched for my friend but found her brother. I last saw him as a little kid – with seven or eight years – he’s 20 now. And he has CHANGED (doh!)
So I wrote to him, he told his mom he saw me online and his mom told my former best friend that I’m looking for her hehe…
And yesterday, at 7pm, I was at my parent’s place, the phone rings and it’s her!! We chatted and laughed as if nothing ever happened. And I was so happy. She has a little baby-girl already. So many of my former girlfriends I met on that site have little babies already 🙂
Did something like this ever happen to you?
Nothing like that ever happened to me, although…
I moved house when I was 4, leaving one of my best friends from preschool / primary school behind. During the second year of high school some classes got mixed and I ended up being in the same class as the girl that used to be my best friend.
We started our friendship again but it never became ‘like it used to be’ and after a few years we both went our own way. I don’t think I’ve seen her since.
Wow that’s an awesome thing! Unfortunately that never happened to me, because I always was kinda unpopular and everyone teased & mobbed me. But I actually did that with some people I knew – I called them up after not being in contact for like 6-8 years and chatted for like 15 minutes to half an hour, but I never heard back from them again. I guess I’m still kinda unpopular 🙁
It’s incredible how people change especially when you haven’t seen them for a long time. Something like that sorta happened to me as well, once – I saw a friend I haven’t seen for ages some time ago. Weird thing 😉
And hey, I am at Lokalisten, too 😀
your comments area is very neat and cute.
i’ve never really had an experience like that. i guess sometimes people disappear from my life and i see them again but they never come back in.
it is sad, though, how friendships can go sour like that
that’s so nice. It never happened to me, but I’ve heard about lots o friendships that have cooled down abruptly and stayed that way. It’s always nice to hear of things going the happy way.
Aww, Tracy that’s wonderful news! I bet it warmed your heart 🙂 I have never experience anything like that, although there are one person that I think about alot and wonder what ever happend to her. Does this girl live far from you? I truly hope you two can be friends again
I had a friendship end suddenly, but it was my choice. The girl was changing so much and not for the good and it was a very one sided friendship. I don’t regret not being close to her anymore.
I also got into contact with a guy that was my childhood best friend through Facebook.com. His father died from brain cancer when we were about 9 and he moved away shortly after. I moved about a year after he did to Florida and never spoke or saw him again. One day, I did a search for him, sent him a message and we talk back and forth now. It was nice to find him.
