Childhood friends. Do you still keep in touch?

Yes, I am 56 years old and live 1,000 mies away from where I grew up. I moved away 36 years ago.But I do still stay in touch with 2 of my friends from school. We e-mail one another almost everyday.We call each other, and when I do get a chance to go home on vacation, we have a great time with each other. I do have a lot of new friends here where I now live, but there is just something about the ones I grew up with, they are still very special to me, even though we live miles away from one another..

i try to with as many as possible. still i think it always not possible from my part only. that person must be willing to keep touch. gaian in course of life many are drifted apart.

I tend to get all nostalgic and melancholy for old friendships a couple of times a year - I try to find out what has become of them and might be able to contact one or two - but it quickly fades away... the old friends do not share my nostalgia I suppose. I did find a few at myspace, which was interesting. One who will coorespond a couple times a month is actually the brother of a friend.

Both. The wonderful thing about the internet is that it has made it easier to get back in touch with people you've lost touch with. I've kept contact with a few school friends and I've gotten back in touch with some through the internet!

I grew up in the life of a gypsy. I say this jokingly, but truthfully as well. We moved as much as a military family, we changes scenery like we changed our underwear. So it was hard making friends, let alone keeping in touch with them. I've lost contact with all of them. One pops in and out of my life every once in a while. But it has been about 3 years since our last contact. To be really honest with you. I don't even have any of the same friends I had 5 years ago, outside of my very close family relationships that is.

Not regularly. Many of us have taken diverging paths and even if we do try to contact each other, we cannot really connect. My childhood friends are scattered all over the world. When we meet each other, it's just hello's and see you's. Sometimes, I wonder if our friendship was really true. I guess it's a part of growing up. At least I still have the memories.

Unfortunately, no. Most of my childhood friends either migrated to another country or moved. Most of the friends I have today are the ones I met at work.
