God's plan

I used to think the same thing. I think that's how it works.

Nothing last forever only salvation.I Enjoy the journey and look forward to each day

Yes, I have had that happen. It's rare that I get close to anyone. I know I've put people off in the past by being too clingy - I think because I was a loner so I'd latch on more than I should have when I finally found someone who wanted to spend time with me. Anyway, I've had various friendships over the years. There are a couple of friendships that just seemed to end for reasons I didn't know. One of those, I wasn't too bothered about but found it odd that the person seemed to remain friends with everyone but me. I'm not sure why as we had been quite good friends and I don't know what changed. Another friend, who I really miss, would occasionally go 'off radar' for a while. He'd maybe need to recharge or have a mental health episode. He came back twice. The first time hadn't been very long. I think the second time had been about 2 years and I remember him saying he was a bit worried about returning after so long. We continued our friendship from where we left off. He then disappeared again. I tried to keep in touch, let him know he was always welcome back in my life. I found out he moved away and I know he's changed a lot. I'm not sure I'll ever see him again. I hope he's well and, perhaps selfishly of me, I hope that him making a new life and cutting contact was because of his mental health and wanting to cut all ties with his home town rather than no longer wanting to be friends with me. I must say, he was the best friend I could have had when I needed one. It saddens me, though, that he wasn't at my wedding as he'd always promised he would be.
