Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver, one is gold.
Loved this and it has always stuck with me. I like making new friends but I love my old friends, so much history with them, so many memories, they love me for who I am and know me inside and out. But I really don't feel like others see the importance of this. I will never turn my back on my friends. I don't fight with my friends, I love them so very much. I would do anything for them, yet I don't feel this in return. I feel so alone.
Im sure there is something I need to change, its not just them. But I just don't know what it it.
Having a difficult Summer.

I soooo know what you mean! I too have felt a loneliness--for a long time really. I think you're a wonderful friend, and I hope your summer starts to look up!
Donna,
I think we live in such an increasingly isolated time...and relationships are changing faster than we can emotionally adapt. In painting the house right now, etc. I am longing for the support of friends and family, yet we are going at it almost entirely alone--I can relate in part to these very frustrations, and disappointments. I wonder also, how I can be this better friend I long for...
We should get a play date on the calendar!
