Talking to old friends

Sometimes I forget how good it is to catch up on old times and the latest gossip. Last night I got to talk to one of my very good friends from college. I haven't talked to her on the phone since I don't remember when. We e-mail each other from time to time but we don't get to talk on the phone or see each other nearly as much as we'd like. Sound familiar? Where does the time go? I tend to be saying that alot lately. Friends and family tend to be making it to the back burner alot faster these days. Between work, mary kay, and helping Scott when I can with his business, I rarely have time to do anything else. So, when I get a chance to answer the phone and hear a familiar voice, my heart melts. It's hard to end the conversation because you find yourself wanting it to last forever (or at least until your voice starts to go or your ear falls asleep). And then, of course, it always ends with "we need to get together." It's almost like it's no longer a choice, but a must. A desperate plea for friendship. So, for those of you I don't get to see or talk to nearly as much as I'd like....I do still love you. I want you to know how much I value your friendship. And, I promise, we really will get to get together sometime...in the future whether it be near or far.
