Old friends, still friends

A few weeks ago we were eating at Texas Roadhouse after church. I looked across the room and saw Tammie who is a friend from Peru that I've lost touch with as I forgot her newly married last name. It pleased my heart to see her & I hurried over to give her my email & phone number. We have since caught up on each others lives and I hope we will stay in touch from this point forward. We have a long history together with a lot of similarities and again at this point in our lives, we have both changed a lot but still have a lot in common.
Then on Friday night, I received a phone call that said Private caller...the lady on the other end played Guess Who with me. It took me a minute but after hearing her voice say a couple sentences I knew it was Kristi. Once again, my heart was so pleased. I have missed Kristi so much. She has been through a lot and I only had an email address but haven't used it. I regret that. She called me as she has lost a couple people recently and she is thinking of old friends too. We talked for almost 4 hours!!! I think we are pretty much caught up and now we can stay in touch and get together and live our lives in the present. I am so happy for her, to hear how she has recovered from some issues in her past. I have and always will consider her a dear friend.
The only sad part of re-connecting with these 2 gals is that it appears that my bestest friend from these days, whom both Tammie & Kristi remember as us being inseperable, has cut me out of her life and I don't even know why. Krisit got my number from Hope and she gave her the last number she had for me and just said that she hasn't talked to me in years. Like it was no big deal. I have sent her several cards over the last few years. I don't have an accurate email or phone number for her. Sometimes I think about just showing up at her door. I can't figure it out. I know that we live different lives now, I'm a mom of a 6 yr old and her son is in the military now. But I thought we had a friendship that would last a lifetime. It really breaks my heart. So, this re-connection is kinda bittersweet as it re-surfaces this open wound between us that I don't know how it got there. I just pray that through all this, possibly I will be able to reconnect with Hope also.
