Here’s a little story…once upon a time, I met a wonderful friend whose husband had a transient job. I knew odds were, they would move away within a few years, but I must say, she had some admirable skill at making new friends quickly. I liked her a lot and viewed her as one of my closer friends.
But then she moved away. And I was surprised to discover it was as if she just pulled the plug on her life in my state, as if it never existed. I guess she soon made new friends at her new place and I virtually never heard a word from her again. I was even aware one time that she was visiting here but she didn’t call, text, or otherwise acknowledge that we had ever been friends. It was confusing and really was quite disheartening.
