Reconnect

It's good to reconnect with friends every once in a while. One of my best friends Dee Dee, I haven't seen in a while. Though we talk more often it's not the same. Yesterday I met up with her and her husband and the baby. Remember him? He was the one born prematurely last September. Well he's now 8 months and the correct height and weight for a baby his age. He's adorable and very energetic! I feel sorry for them when he starts crawling.

Dee Dee and I caught up on each other's lives. Shared pictures, stories, talked about the past. It was a great day. I felt like our friendship was renewed.

At one time we were inseperable. Always either at her house or mine. As we grew older our priorities and interests changed and we inevitably 'grow up'. Like most friends, with our busy lives, hectic work schedules, etc. we haven't been in close touch as we used to be. To remedy that, every so often my friends and I make it a point to pick a time and place and we'll all show up. We make a whole day of it. We'll bring the kids, our spouses, food, pictures, etc. and pick up where we left off. It's important for our relationships. These are the people that knew us before any of us had kids or were with our spouses. It's important to be well rounded: work, family, friendship -- it's great when all are in sync and nothing lacking.

Question of the Day:

Have you had any friends that you haven't heard from in a while? If so, why?
