From my own experience... yes, friendship can die of old age, especially when the bounds aren't too strong :/

That I can understand, but when the bonds were strong? Like, someone who used to be a Best Friend?

I guess it would depend on WHEN you were friends. If it happened long time ago, well... people change and their interests change as well *sigh* that might be a reason. And sometimes... it might be that this other person didn't really consider you as the best friend, you could be the only one who thought so :/ I'm might sound cynical, but... I guess I'm not right person to answer this question... From all my best friends only one person appeared to be a real one :/ and I'd prefer not to mention the rest >_>; such a betrayal really hurt :/

It's interesting that you should bring this up. My friend Andrew's mom and I had a very long talk about it. Yes, like you said, there are always friends that you just can't keep active relationships with while you're away, but in my experience, if you ever go back and try to find them (call them, etc.) they're always happy to hear from you. You can always renew friendships that died with distance. Friends realize that you haven't completely forgotten about them, and they haven't fogotten about you, so it all works out.

I've been going on just that assumption, but I'm beginning to realize that maybe friendship can dissolve reguardless.

From someone who's obviously had exactly the same problem, yeah, friendships can fade away. But they can also come back. I'm still hurt over a few of the many friends I've lost over the years because long-distance phone calls just aren't enough, but I've managed to bring back a few of those relationships. And there are always more to be made. And your family always loves you and wants to hang out ;)

Buy me a pair of nine-league boots for my birthday, and I'll hang out with you whenever you like. :P
