How I Found My Old Friend

I just happened to see an old friend at a church group function years ago, which was weird because she never used to go to church. Suddenly there she was with her husband, and I was there with mine and my kids.

How We Became Friends Again

We spotted each other and just got to talking. When we had talked last time, she was still single and I had gotten married. Now we were both married and things were different. We had a lot in common again. We were both older and our husband got along, and we just started hanging out again.

Advice

  • Sometimes old friends just come back to you and it's easy to pick up where you left off.

Cherie Burbach, Friendship Guide, says:

It's true, time can change friendship. It sounds as if this set of friends just naturally drifted apart, so when they saw each other again it was easier for them to reconnect. It doesn't always happen that way, but these two friends were obviously open to hanging out again, and it worked for them.
