The importance of TRUE friends

Within the last year, lots in my life has changed, some visible, most inside. But I am astonished at the number of friends who don't call anymore. One friend in particular, or should I say a person that presented as a friend, anyway at the same time typing an email that said "I am in this for the long haul", completely stopped emailing after that. Eventually changed that email. Moved without even giving an address. I allowed that to break my heart for a while and that I became angry. This was a person who, when others were not talking to him for a stupid reason, I was the one who said "I am here and refuse to do like the others". Now that has been flipped on me.

This was an old friend, someone I knew from college, which we realized was almost 20 years. This is the last time I will devote ANY energy to this person. I am better than that and have way too much bad stuff on my plate. There is no room for that mess. If that person ever sees this, I have some pictures of you as a little kid. I would be happy to mail them back to you...

I have people in my life who really are in my life for the long haul. I think after all these months I feel nothing but pity for you.
