  *Hugs and wine* I'm sorry about your childhood friend, but sometimes it takes something like this to see who your true friends are.

  That happened to me awhile back. After a few years of not thinking about it I suddenly started to after getting engaged. I looked her up on the internet. She got married. It's sad that we won't be a part of each other's bigd day/lives.

  I'm sorry to hear about your friend.  It's always strange to find out about somebody you used to be close with and see what they're doing in life.  I often think about the different paths friends have taken through my life, it's like a really big web.  Some people stick around and others don't, sadly.

  Oooh yes. Fun times. The only person from my childhood that is invited is a girl I've known since 3rd grade. We used to be best buds, fell out in high school, fell back in during college breaks since we both went away for school... life sucks sometimes. My "best friend" in high school and in college, til the last year, I found out was bad talking me to her other friends and making fun of my weight.. really? Her best friend weighs more than me.... and you're making fun of me?? We even went to Disney during our sophomore spring break of college. She transferred to my college because of me. Like.. who does that? It really sucks to not have her involved in my life, but then I remember all the hateful things her other friends said about me and what she said.. no true friend would act that way.
  
  That also being said the only college friends I have invited are education majors like me. None of my true besties from college either, as they were all my ex's friends, not mine when it came to the split. Ow.

  Sigh.  I was just feeling sorry for myself because a childhood friend inexplicably dumped me a while back, and has gone radio silent on me.  Then I got a text from one of my best friends, who is living in Spain for the next couple of years, to say she misses me and loves me, and Happy New Year.  Awwwww.  Sometimes you just really need to hear that.

  Ugh. This happened to me once, right after highschool -- one of my closest friends suddenly stopped talking to me out of nowhere, and it was years before I found out that it had something to do with the guy I was dating at the time. Almost 10 years later, I still don't have the full story. I figure that if she was willing to throw our friendship away over something like that and not even give me an explanation, she isn't worth it.

  
  

  Your true friends will be there for you, for sure

  The same thing happened to me!  My mother used to babysit this girl (I'm gonna call her Jen for the sake of this post) for a year until she had me.  Jen and I actually have the same birthday, exactly one year apart.  Mom continued babysitting Jen, so I basically had Jen as part of my life since I was born.  We were best friends for our entire childhood, then puberty came along, and we entered that really awkward "WHO AM I?????" phase of life.  

  Soon when I visited her (by now we lived an hour apart but always made a point to see each other when we had breaks from school) it changed from playing in the backyard to going to the mall, where Jen decided to try to teach me how to be attractive to boys (Which clearly she failed because my first date wasn't until I was 17 XD) and she'd start looking down on me because my mom didn't buy me stuff from Juicy couture, to the point where I'd feel pressured to spend months worth of my allowance on a single pair of $60 flip-flops (WTF.)  Meanwhile I wanted to talk about Pokemon more than I wanted to talk about boys.  

  Then one year she just blew me off completely, and we haven't talked since.  Basically I got sick of being the one trying to get ahold of her, so I decided to sit back and wait for her to get ahold of me- never happened.  I was friends on Facebook with her a few years back, but I had to unfriend her because I wasn't a fan of seeing my childhood friend posting photos of her midriff and cleavage and butt all the time.  She turned out pretty trashy, and that made me sad.  So I haven't so much as seen a photo or anything for years now.  I have no idea what she's up to.
