my old friend
Today is my old friend Claire's birthday.
I don't know what happened to Claire. She's alive and well in Chattanooga (or was a month ago), but for some reason she decided not to keep in touch with me awhile back. I don't take it too personally. I know I'm not the only one. But I don't think I will ever understand.
We were great friends once and that time has passed. It used to hurt my feelings. Doesn't anymore. I just wish I could wish her a happy birthday.
