When Friendships Fade
We meet friends everywhere in all walks of life. At the place of employment, we bond with colleagues who work with us together as a team to form a united front and share duties to accomplish the goals and objectives of the company for whom we work. Through those interactions we become acquainted somehow through our daily duties, conversations, and we chose our friends as we relate to them. At some time during the daily frustrations, problems, challenges, we become friendly with one or maybe even a few of our co-workers. Before you know it, we are confiding in each other about our home lives, some problem at work or maybe someone who is causing us stress, as time goes on you begin to enjoy lunch together, conferring on a task chatting together, and we have made a friend.
You may have met someone in college and have become very close to them. As stated above, you bond, and spend time together. It could be a roommate, a group of people, maybe even a dating situation. At church you can choose to hang with people you enjoy to spend time with, i.e., phone conversations, church activities, working in the same department for the same cause and developing good solid friendships. In all of these cases you are always there for one another, and your relationship becomes long-term as you have already decided you have a lot in common. You may share excitement, joy, Spirituality, conversations, secrets, activities, tears, grief, sorrow, testimonies, prayers and many other things that help to keep your friendship growing.
Then one day, you or your friend has decided to change jobs, relocate to another state, attend another church or whatever the circumstances. You tell each other that you will keep in touch and exchange telephone numbers and addresses or even e-mail addresses. For a while you may even write, call or even visit the other person, but as time goes by, the friendship fades, and then it’s all done and over with. No more calls, letters, visits, e-mails or whatever. This is not always in every case, but it happens a lot in life.

Or you could just be like me. I don't have friends 'cause they're just too much work.
Devas, you may be the one who is too much work, have you ever thought of that? *teasing grin*

Photography guy: no one here lives in North Hampton and nobody wants your fowl photography, go away. Go spam somebody your own age, what 3?
*sighs* Yes, I have been there so many times with this. Especially having grown up in a military family, it made it so hard to keep track of friends.
It sure makes me sad. *sighs*
