Friends
So I went and visited my friend in the hospital yesterday. She was having a good day thankfully but I left with such a low feeling . . . like I'll probably not see much of her again. It's not that I think she will die. I am feeling really good about how things are going for her. Of course you should not count your chickens before they are hatched but I am confident she will beat this thing. She is a fighter! I just feel like I won't be seeing her again. I can't explain it because it was/is a strange feeling. She indicated she probably won't be coming back at all this school year which I am for wholeheartedly but she is also nor sure she will ever come back. I'm going to try to keep in touch but our lives are going to start to diverge and I am terrible about keeping up with people who are not somehow intertwined in my day-to-day life. I really suck at that part. Outta sight, outta mind. Well not totally out of mind but I get so busy doing things I'll forget to call for weeks at a time and then when I do remember I feel like it's been so long how could I possibility catch up??? How bad am I? This is partly why I have so few friends. Boo

I am the same way with keeping up. If they have email or a blog, though, I'm golden. Otherwise, I just can't do it for the life of me.
I am also the same way. But I am very fortunate to have a couple friends who don't let it get in the way. They will call me.
Can you tell your friend that you would really like to stay in contact but it is hard for you and can she help meet you half way or 3/4 of the way? Just a thought.
But like you said, she will never be forgotten even if you don't talk as much.
I am still thinking of your friend.
I think many of us are the same way, especially mothers to young children. Consider it a blessing you have had her friendship for the time you you have. =)
