Hi friends!Everyone of us has a childhood friend I suppose.Right?I myself have a few.From time to time,I would recall some memories when I was little and they come to mind.Our young faces,our games,laughters and our simple attitude towards life.I moved on to places as I got my education,then work,then got married.They are still in my memories though sad to say,because of the lack of high technology before like the internet and the mobile phone,I loose track with them.I wish I could keep in touch with my real childhood friends in my Elementary years.I wonder how there lives are now and where they are.I wish someday,I could meet them again.That would be very nice.How about you?Have you kept in touch with your childhood friends?If you do,I could say you are just lucky.Enjoy!

Seeing each other after those long years from childhood days.It's just nice fun right?It's fine if not all.Having a few of them would do bring those old fun memories back.

Hmmm... i feel they are the only friends who knows us since we were nothing till we become something... maintains the same relation what they did when we were nothing and after we become something. i cant express exactly in words as i am that perfect in english. i hope u understand my point.

Hi dragonangel,
Yes, but not really that much... sometimes when I open my facebook and did she so we can chat. She is graduating now so I guess she is so loaded with school works. She is my friend since we were both first graders. Having some unforgettable memories until our secondary years. We were separated schools in college so that's our first time living in distance. I miss her. I guess I should off my work schedule to be on her graduation. She is a pharmacy student.

Yes, exactly my friend. Actually I have many close friends back in elementary but hazel is my best ever bonding girl friend back then... playing in the rain, went swimming in the river, quarrel for a small stuff, and all those funny childhood memories....

I can still see some of my childhood friends. Most of them got married and still live in the same neighbourhood. However I did not keep any contact with them at all. I still see them in the village feast and we just nod to each other. However I do wonder what has happened to them during all these years. It is nice to see a bubbly woman with a pushchair and trying to bring back childhood memories when we were still in the classroom bench. A wooden bench to be exact.

Yep good idea. I am a bit shy when it comes to break the ice, then when it is broken I ll become a chatter box :)

You could add a few words with the nod perhaps ronaldino.I'm pretty sure the few words could run on and on.

I was able to keep in touch with one of my oldest friends from my school days up until a few years ago. However she moved and I wasn't able to get in touch with her. I don't have her cell phone number, because I've forgotten and since its a track phone there is no telling if she still has it.
I think about her sometimes, but I haven't spoken to her in years.

No and i was still hoping that i can get in touch with them. Some of my childhood friends have already move into different places. Get married and move with their families. Some of them still in here but i dont know if they can still remember me. And it is really a great help nowadays that we have facebook, friendster and twitter. It helps a lot to find friends who are in far away places.

yes not many but occasionally. during the time children are not so mature so that they could feel the importance of any relation and they just think how to get a good partner to play with them and i was also like that but i have some of my friends still with me but we could not talk regularly

That's right.Those times when we were young made us forget some friends.I agree with that. Way back then,we're not yet as attached as when we grew up later.Though, when we could continue keeping in touch with them could make the once loose relationship close enough.

I've kept in touch with one childhood friend in particular, Colleen. I remember her being at my 3rd birthday party; that was 57 years ago. She lives in Oregon; I live in New Mexico, but I still try and see her every 3 or 4 years. We call each other once or twice a year and e-mail often.

Yes. I still keep in touch with several childhood friends of mine. We don't see each other often. But we do go out around once a month to catch up. We usually hang out at someone's house, dine out, or have a big outing. We are not as close as before but the friendship is still there. Until now, we are all still comfortable with one another. There are no pretenses, etc.

you are taking me back to the school days 
i have some very good friends, i keep in touch with them with social networking sites like orkut and facebook, i don't have contact with them over phone, i can ask them anytime though, but i don't know it is much comfortable to reach them on the net and we have a good track of each other, i don't have much time now to call them but yeah we are all so busy now and wish someday we could meet, as for now we are all in college and busy with our own things, but hey we are still in contact, reaching out to my old old buddies is what i mainly use those social networking sites for, have a good day.

As I browsed for interesting topic, I got stuck with this one. Your subject has really caught my attention. Whenever I recall my childhood years, I can't help but long for some of my friends whom I did meet for a long time. I regret leaving the town where I grew up because when I decided to return, my closest friends have already gone. Luckily, I found few of them and our friendship was renewed but I'd be happier if the ones I missed shall complete my list and we will have some good times together again.
