Sometimes I miss friends, who have moved away, so much it hurts. One in particular, lives on the other side of the world now.
I miss her creativity, her unflinching loyalty, and her slightly cynical mind. There are times when skype and online chats just make it harder and the missing fresher.
Today was one of those days.
Knowing she is missing us just as much, is no consolation.
But, it is the friends that live close, and yet you cannot quite catch up with, that sucks the most. With busy lives, varied interests and work and family commitments getting in the way. Do you need to start making appointments to fit close friends in, or just rely on the fact that those deep, solid friendships need less constant inputs, and go for quality rather than quantity??

I love your posts. They make me think. I too have a best friend that lives far away. I miss her a lot. She is the only friend I have kept in touch with through all my moves and life changes. We see each other once a year, if that, and we try to make it as quality as we can. I also know that to find time to hang out with my friends that live near, we have to schedule some sort of girls night. That doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is great fun! Good luck. Not sure I know what the best answer is.
