and even harder to keep. I was always really picky about those I chose to be friends with. I got busy with life and lost track of some my high school friends. I made new ones later but I still wonder about the old ones sometimes. This one girl is was in junior high with. She came to see me once after I moved back here but she still lived in Pocatello. We didn't stay in touch. But, my BFF and I have known each other for more than forty five years. We have been through the babies and boyfriends together. She lost her youngest to cancer a few years back and it was really hard. She also lost her youngest sister to it. She lives in Oklahoma and we keep in touch through Facebook. Do you have friends you have known for decades and have kept in touch with them?

@celticeagle It ain't your fault. There comes a time when we all get carried away with the activities in life and fail to keep intouch

I have a friend that I have known since I was 12, we are now in our late 20's. We've been through stuff together but still come out strong. Of course I've also had plenty of friends that I've lost because of silly stuff.

I've had good friends throughout my life, and I have been reunited with many of them thanks to Facebook - but very few have remained my "good friends" til now. The ones that I consider good now, well, they are around, but I wouldn't say we are super close these days. I'm so busy with family and our schedules - my focus on life is family.

Yes, I have several friends since childhood and we still keep in touch through facebook. Some of them were my classmates in the elementary till high school. We still keep in touch and have reunions whenever some of them visit our place. They were far and I am still living in the place where we grew up. We had great fun together. The sad thing is that they do not visit our place in a time, so that makes me present every time one of them visited our place.

It's not always easy to stay in touch. I had a group of close friends in high school, and we were pretty good with staying in touch afterwards. However, I got busy with kids, and I had a hard time staying in touch and seeing them. I am able to see what they're up to through Facebook, but I haven't spoken to them in a while. I have made other friends since, but it's not always easy.
