I can understand that. It's a strange phenomenon, how cross and criss-cross each others lives but also how we all change as we go forward. Like you, a number of my friends are dead and the ones that remain, I have nothing in common with anymore.

My closest friend and I have been friends since the 8th grade so it is possible to hang on to the true friends you make as you go.

On the plus side, you're constantly meeting new people and forming new friends and relationships.
