A lil change of pace

I know that this deviates from the intended essence of this blog, but it’s something that I believe all of us has or will experience sooner or later.

In the infamous words of Whodini:

Friends …How many of us have them?
Friends…Ones we can depend on
Friends…How many of us have them?
Friends…Before we go any further, let’s be Friends

Friends is a word we use every day
Most the time we use it in the wrong way
Now you can look the word up, again and again
But the dictionary doesn’t know the meaning of friends

And if you ask me, you know, I couldn’t be much help
Because A friend is somebody you judge for yourself
Some are ok, and they treat you real cool
But some mistake kindness for bein a fool

When does a friend transition from being a friend to something other than?

I spoke with a friend recently and they informed me that the person that they referred to as a Really, really good friend isn’t speaking to them anymore, responding to invites, etc.  These friends go way back, 20+ years, so what causes a friend to all of a sudden disappear?  Yes there are some obvious things…LOL, but in this instance it seems that LIFE just happened to get in the way at certain times.  Extremely ill family member, and some other serious “family” matters to tend too. 

I guess with friends like these, you don’t need enemies!
