Friends Lost

It is always hard to realize a friendship needs to end. I had dinner tonight with a couple of people from graduate school. For a time I considered one of these people my best friend. We were practically inseparable for a while. As our lives got busier we still got together at least once or twice a month. In the last year I have seen this person only three times and each of these times were strained. I have several friends that I only see or talk to a couple of times a year, but there isn't any ackwardness between us. I guess it is true of the saying about friends. Some are for a lifetime, some are for a season while others still are just for the moment. Each has a place in your heart and served a need for you at that time. So to this friend goodbye and best of luck in your life. I wish only the best and that all your hopes and dreams may be fulfilled.
