The end of a friendship.

I have had two really close friendships that came to an end for reasons that never really became clear to me. Both were friendships with females that started back in middle school, and had ended after two significant events that had occurred in my life. One being getting married, and the other when I divorced. The first assumption I came to was my life had changed drastically in both events, and maybe it could have changed me to where these two woman thought they had nothing or little in common with me anymore. The second assumption would be these woman weren't really as close of friends as I had thought. Why should either of those events effect a friendship?

I tried several times to reach out to these woman to talk through any differences or conflicts they may have had with me, with no prevail. Which made me come to the realization that if someone wants to be in your life, they will. You shouldn't have to do anything to try and keep them in your life unless you have wronged them some how, and then you need to make it right. Neither one of them accused me of that. As painful as it was to me I had to just let it go. These two woman had issues that made them decide they no longer wanted to be part of my life, and I just needed to accept that.

Since then I have met a wonderful group of woman who have help me, and supported me through the roughest time of my life. A group of woman I look up to, and have taught me to be strong and grow into the woman I never thought I could be. Woman who have treated me as if they have known me for a life time. Woman with their own special uniqueness. Woman I am proud to call my friends. Friendships come and go, that is just part of life. I often think of these two woman, and wonder what they are doing. I believe every friendship, good or bad, can contribute valuable lessons. I hope they are thinking of me too.
