Not forgotten

The most unexpected people come through for you at the most unexpected times. People who you've given up on a long time ago suddenly prove their worth as a friend, and with a twinge of guilt, you remember why they've been your friend from the beginning and wish you hadn't complained about them.

I think this weekend's going to be about renewing old ties. Bestfriends never seem so far apart as when they're in the same country but never make the effort to really keep in touch. We meet for lunches and dinners, appointments which are hastily slotted into busy schedules, and we catch up on what's going on, but we don't know anything about what's going on on the inside.

How did we ever get so busy? Too busy to even ask after someone we're supposed to really care about. I suddenly feel like the worst friend in the world, but I'd like to say thank you to all of you that aren't.
