At long last, nostalgic connection.
Today I got to see a friend who moved away 4 years ago. I didn't realized how much I missed her until she showed up at my house looking so much taller and grown up. I immediately gave her a flying hug and we talked for hours about our lives and lost connections. There is so much you lose when old friends leave. It's always nice to reconnect and start up a renewed, but different friendship.
I ended up writing a letter to the sister who didn't come and she'll get it tomorrow when Allie goes backt to Tennessee. It saddens me to hear that she has also dealt with a lot of unnecessary stress due to a mutual friend (loose term). I wish there was something I could do, but distance and lack of funds leaves me with letters, phones, and the internet, none of which help very much when I friendly hug is the goal. Life, as it is, likes to throw me curve balls. I didn't expect to speak to Cat again much, but her sister's visit has spurred me to act on my desire to understand the human condition. I know we're different people than we were, but we seem to have more in common now than we once did, and I wouldn't mind testing that connection to see what's there. I could always use more friends, even when the friends I have are already fantastic. I'm always looking to enrich my life, and people do that better than any video game ever could.
