People in my life don’t cease to amaze me. And neither does my own stupidity.
I just got a call from a very old friend, who I had long given up on. And all it took for me to give up is a long gap in communication. In fact a long gap is exactly what it took for me to give up on many other things in life.
I don’t know how it works but I start living with my stories about things I haven’t touched or people I haven’t been in touch with for a long time. And I am always left a little surprised if ever I get back in touch with them. Surprised to see how they have just not changed.
This friend’s call was not just another call. It was a call to remind me that I am a very lucky person, and that I am blessed with friends who are determined to stand by my side in happiness or sorrow. I have friends who are thrilled for the good things in my life, who don’t think twice before demanding of me to stand by their side on their important days, and much more - even if I think they have forgotten me.
More importantly it was a call to remind me that nothing is lost until it’s really lost. And that giving up is the stupidest thing I do.

Unconditional love does not need constant touch. But it is proved in situations like the one you have mentioned. Be blessed and loved
Gunj,
Did not visit for sometime and look what all I missed. Read few current posts. Good that you have come to terms with what life deals out to you. Love is really a big blessing God gives us. One must not ignore friends as they are such a good support system.
Take care
Its always good to meet a friend!!
Of course , You shouldn't give up ever Di.. whatever happens.. ;) You're better than that!
TRue n genuine friends always stay by our side no matter how distant or far they maybe. You are lucky to have them.
Giving up is not an option! :)
Stay happy, *hugs*

In getting back in touch after a very long time I suppose we interact with the person from our memory of how we interacted before losing touch.
Time rarely bridges!
