I am one that love to keep friends forever. I have them and no matter how far I am, I keep in touch, or I think about them a lot. Do you have friends you still keep in touch with since school or moving? I just found three of my school friends, and that is awesome. I have a lady I have known for 30 years and we talk twice a year on the phone. Its strange, how life keeps me moving, and I am able to keep up with my friends of the past, to reminisces the old times; good or bad. Is it just me, or do others do the same or have done the same? thanks

I am blessed to have several school friends for over 25 years. It is a blessing to have some who has seen you grow up, and know my good points and bad. :-) http://www.mylot.com/?ref=fmuldowney

fmuldowney, I agree, it is great to have friends, who actually know you. It's weird to think that you can have friends that you went to school with and then grew up with, I guess, not many are blessed to be able to do this, Thank you for sharing. :)

I've lost touch with everyone I went to school with - however, a few months ago I located my best friend from primary school on Facebook! She was still using her maiden name, luckily - so we've been catching up through emails! Amazing - we last saw eachother about 33 years ago, and she's now married to a Turkish man and was living in Turkey!

really how awesome. actually amazing, that must be fantastic to be able to talk to others. It must be interesting. I could not think I would remember half or many even of the group of people I went to school with. I do remember a few, like the one that I went to the 5th grade with in one city and when I ended back in the 7-11th, she was there, it was weird for I had moved so many times, and then to find her in the same jr. high was interesting. But, good luck, in finding your friends, and you should check the classmate.com, for your school and see how many have found the site and such. It might be interesting. I love it. thank you

I try to keep in touch with friends but some move and don't leave forwarding address'. However, the ones that keep in touch I have known for over 40 years.

see, I am the same way, I was 12 when I first met this family and helped babysit the boys, they are grown now and married with children and we are still close, even though we are like 1200 miles from each other, I have never lost touch with them either. I love to keep track and follow the growth of the children and my friends. I guess I am strange, but I feel we never can have to many friends. old or new. thank you for responding have a blessed day
