High School Friends

Wow. My best friend from high school came to visit me this weekend. She had planned to go to Las Vegas with one of her coworkers for a couple of days and then travel down to Arizona to visit me. I was a little nervous about the visit, but things turned out fine.

I have a lot of friends, but I have a hard time establishing really good friends. When I was younger we moved a lot so I didn't really get to keep in touch. Since I have left home and gotten married my husband went into the military. I made good friends but not only did I move, they did too. My friend that came to visit is very unpredictable.

When we were younger she had this huge competition thing with me. I never felt that way at all toward women in general. I feel that way when I play sports. I have never really understood that feeling. Anyway we hated and loved each other during this time. Her parents deprived her of a lot of love, but gave her everything else. My mom was an alcoholic, but was an excellent communicator (feeler).

There have been several times in my life when I have felt I no longer have anything in common with her. I felt like what's the point of continuing this friendship? I have been friends with her for almost 15 years.

I had a really nice visit with her. She seems to have grown a lot. It got me thinking about other people in high school though.

Nathan if your out there I miss you.
