And this is why it is important to have life long friends, someone you can have around and grow old with.

The Real Life Scenario:

Let’s face it boys and girls, the grief of separation is inescapable. We all pick and choose friends for life from the time we are children, however, as we grow up we move on different paths. Some of us change college and have to move out of town for more than a year.

There are some of us who secure new high paying jobs and move out of home for good. Maybe the whole family has decided to relocate altogether for reasons best known to them. In such cases, friends stay behind and we have to move on, with a stone on our heart. Such situations happen almost everyday, but where there is a will there surely is a way. We have to find means to stay in touch and let the bond of friendship between friends not break.

1. Calling your best friend over phone or skype these days isn’t a chore. Thanks to the advancement of technology, you now can stay in touch, catch up and even hang out online, even though the two of you or the whole group is miles away from each other. But if you do stay in the same city, once a month or once in two weeks, catching up on lunch, dinner or a couple of coffee shots or beer for that matter, seems apt and great to indulge in. friends who really care and want to keep in touch will take out time and put in the energy to meet up. Planning a hang out is great; however, ensure that it is at a centralized location, easily accessible for everyone and at a time when all can come. If someone cannot make it, try and understand rather than being miffed about it.
