found my old friend.

tkachev

I have mentioned in a previous post how I had a lovely friend who supported me through my divorce. She helped me so much and I stayed at her house for christmas one year and my girls often stayed with her.
As my arthritis came on so suddenly and I moved home around the same time we lost touch. I couldnt do anything and she didnt know where I had moved too (we were renting and it all moves so much quicker than buying). I was totally wrapped up in my pain.
Well I found a link to a link to another link on facebook and there she was. I was so worried when contacting her as she could easily have thought why bother?
Today i got a lovely reply from her. She has had health isues too although i dont yet know what they are.And we are going to plan a meet up. So much must have happened in the past 11 years we have been out of touch and i am really so happy that she replied.
So there is good in facebook too.......

That's lovely! I remember your post and I am so pleased you found her. Real friends don't bother about lapses in contact, they're just happy to hear from each other again.

Like all things in life there's a good and a bad. Facebook is useful for stuff like this. Let us know how the meeting goes when you get together! DD

I'm so pleased your friend has replied. What a lovely response to your courage in contacting her. You will have so much to talk about!

A couple of years ago I found an old friend on the internet that I hadn't seen for over 30 years. We had been great friends in our young hippy days but lost touch as we both moved around. He now lives with his family in Canada but by coincidence or some sort of synchronicity, the week after I contacted him he came to England to visit his mother so we were able to meet up. What a lot of catching up we had!

Enjoy your renewed friendship.

Elizabeth I am really pleased for you, I miss my best friend and I think she lives not far from me. We lost touch a while ago, she has a drink problem and with me having r/a I was finding it dificult getting out and we lost touch. Her daughter has tried to get her to contact me but for some reason she doesn't want to know.
Hope you have a lovely time when you meet up.

Good news Elizabeth.

It's good renew old friendships especially when you've been so close in the past.

I used Friends Reunited to meet up with my best friend of my schooldays, it was okay but our lives had gone in totally different directions and we have very little in common now only our past. It doesn't always work out after a massive gap like we had of nearly 40 years but you should be fine.

I bet you're very excited.

Thankyou all so much.
I am very excited and am really looking forward to explaining things although careful not to make excuses.I think we should be even closer now as i dont have all the divorce rubbish around us making me a miserable wreck.
It will be a chance to thank her for all she did and she did an awful lot.
I hope she is okay too as she mentioned health issues but it is so like her not to worry about herself.
Julie, you cant really do much more than wait for your friend to get out of the fog. You have extended the olive branch and hopefully the time will come when she realises your friendship is still there. I wish you well.

Hi Elizabeth - how lovely that you have managed to track her down. Hurrah for t'internet I say! You'll obviously have loads to catch up on having been out of touch for the past eleven years! I recently met up again with someone I knew as a very young child - chance meeting in the doc's surgery of all places - and am really looking forward to getting together with her to catch up and share memories of the fun we had as children.
Hope you manage to have a get-together with your friend very soon.
Love Tilly x

That great news Elizabeth, hope you have wonderful catch up.

My friend wants me to go to her school reunion next week. I'll feel a bit out of place but she has not seen them for 20 years and is so excited I could not refuse. I have my fingers crossed for you both.
I'm sure you will have a happy memory day.
