old friendships made new.

it takes a long time to grow an old friend. 

tonight i am getting together with some friends i have known for years. they have known me through the awkward years of middle school, right up through the confusing, searching years of high school. one friend in particular, i have not seen since my senior year of high school. i frustrate myself in the fact that i have been slacking on keeping in touch, making it a point to keep in contact & just doing badly at keeping the friendship real. the business of life is my excuse. the miles between us. the single life i lead verses the married life she leads. all excuses. excuses that could have been overcome before now. despite what i could have done to salvage this friendship before now...we are being given the opportunity to start new. forgive the past. forgive each other & become friends once again. forgiving really is letting go. i cannot wait to see my friends of long ago & to start new with the old.
