That was a lovely tribute to your friend and to the tenacity of friendship...

I went over and wished her a Happy Birthday

What a sweet story.
That is one of the blessings of the internet-- that it allows us to reconnect so readily!

What a great story - and I love the "friend God forgot" quote. I actually scribbled that on the backs of the picture frames I gave my wedding party when we got married!

Wishes-- done. Celebrating the joy of friendships that are deep and true enough to pick right up like no time has passed-- done. And done. And done. I guess 'doing' would be more appropriate. =D Yay!

Great story and how wonderful to have an old friend reconnect. I've got a 30(?) year HS reunion coming this week and I hope to reconnect with some lost friends.

Wow... I feel so unworthy of the gift of our friendship. You are truely an amazing woman and you are such a better friend than I could ever be.

It is true that I somewhat pulled the plug on our friendship. I have a feeling that I tried to create a small distance early so that so I would not feel so much hurt when you really did move away. I never said I was the brightest on the block.

Non the less, our friendship is renewed and I could not ask for anything else. You are truely a wonderful person and I am grateful to have such a good friend.

Although I would like to thank you properly for my "Surprise Party", I have to go change my underware because you and your posse have scared the crap out of me.

Always and forever your friend,
Kandee (Ms. Poopy Pants)

You're bad. It's nice to have a friend like that. I'm not very close with my friends.
