Where do people go?

[ShutterbugMama]

You know the ones...the ones you swore you'd never let get away, the bonds you swore would never break  and could never be broken, the ones you used to know you could call in the middle of the night for coffee if you really needed it...where do these beautiful people GO?

People drift, people move.  Women marry, last names change, college happens, and transfers come.  Life changes and big choices are made, and friendships seem to scatter, but..

WHY?

Yeah, I've heard that some people are here for a life time, some just for a lesson, bla bla bla...who hasn't heard that stupid Haiku, but, you know what??

I want them back.

I want ALL those people BACK.

Call me selfish, I don't care.  Im human, Im venting, Im sad, I feel ripped off, disconnected, afraid...

Where does everyone GO TO?????????

I realize that life gets hectic; I know that kids are needy, and times are crazy.  I am in FULL AGREEMENT that it's tough to find somthing "positive" to talk about sometimes, but....

Id still love to hear from my Sisters of long ago.

There are many...I was raised in 22 foster homes...there are A LOT of people I care about still, wonder about, think about, pray for....

They're my Sisters. 

They're my brothers.

Where are they?

Taryn and Maria, my Sisters, YOU both inspired this post.  My first day of radiation after being diagnosed with cancer, YOU BOTH HELD ME UP WHILE I CRIED.  I was so scared, but I knew I had you both; I wasn't alone.

Memories, promises, plans...

Where does everyone go?

I'm still here; loving you just the same as always.  Even more, in fact.

I wish I could shrink the world.

This world is just too big.

I'm there with you, Love.  Still smarting from C's departure, and there are so many others...  But the Love lives on.  It may not feel like enough, sometimes, but it's worth holding on to.

So true...life is too busy and too short. I hope you can find all the people you want to connect with in your life again.

Maybe they found all the stray socks on an island n Haiwaii and are waiting there for us, wondering where the heck we went?  I don't know.

Love you, Elle.  ALWAYS.

22 foster homes??? Did I read that right? .............. (that's me being speechless)

I wish I could relate to the "friendship connection" more that you write about.....it's a foreign concept to me! There is not one person on this planet that my heart breaks and longs to see again! I'm working on that.....because I know that foundations are being laid.......

I so know what ya mean! I thought the whole myspace world would bring me back in touch with old friends and things could start over...nope! Everyone is too busy, except me! I try, I put myself out there, my badge on my arm that says I LOVE YOU. Not many seem to want it. its sad and it stinks. The really sad thing is that some of them are within distance of me. And yet the ones who are loving and accepting and people I would love to spend days with and shop with and chat with that Ive found here, (My new life friends) YOU ALL ARE SO FAR AWAY! =( If you find a way to shrink this world-please do it! I need my girls! Its lonely here without all of you!

Love you Elle! Call me anytime of day ever!

I understand about missing friends.  I have been thinking about friends that I had and after all the moving and high school graduation and then getting married, where are they.  Unfortunately, not only are missing and I can't seem to find them, but they are all guy friends and some of their wives are not happy with them talk to old friends that are girls. I guess  will just have to hope they are doing well and enjoying life.
