How would you respond if you received this letter?

I m writing you this letter because I miss the friendship we once had. I can honestly say that out of everyone in our group of friends, you are the one I m closest to. You are my best friend.

You were in the delivery room when I was born, and I was there when mom tricked you into eating those horrible smashed green peas by pretending the spoon was a choo-choo train and your mouth was a tunnel. And how quickly we learned that peas weren t going to be part of our daily diet once I got sick and threw up all over the kitchen.

But, hands down the time we spent together in elementary school was the greatest!

Every day at 10:15am we d run out to the field, hang our arms in the air and spin around like we were helicopters. That was so cool! And do you remember Jr. High? We d play dodge ball on Monday, basketball on Tues then rush home so we could make time to ride the bike, skateboard and roller-skate before the street lights came on! Then in High School we couldn t wait for the lights to come on so we could hit the field for our Friday night football games. We had so much fun back then.

Unfortunately, when we went off to college the problems began. You d constantly say you were too busy for me. At first it didn t bother me and I chose not to complain because we were older and life was different. Truth be told, you got too busy I never changed.

In fact, I can t remember how many times I stayed up with you all night drinking coffee and eating pizza at 4am to help you study for your classes. I think we gained our Freshman 15 before the first semester was over. However, that s also when you started drinking and smoking. I knew it wasn t for me after the first time because my lungs burned so bad from the smoke I had a coughing spasm and the only thing I remember about the alcohol was throwing up in the toilet and waking up with a horrible hang over. Honestly, I don t think the others in our group appreciated your behavior but they couldn t say anything. I wished you would ve learned from that experience and taken it as a sign to stop doing those things as well. But that s also when you began to let your other group of friends influence your life without considering how your decision also affected me. Nonetheless, I didn t give up on our friendship I simply adapted and learned how to deal with it.

But as time went on, the more I adapted, the worse things got. In fact, I think the only time you ve shown me that you still care about our friendship is that time when we had to run through the airport so you wouldn t miss our flight. I was so out of shape and could barely keep up, I swore you were going to kill me. But you didn t — thanks.

Now that you ve got a full-time job, kids and a significant other person in your life, I ve fallen even lower on your priority list. Don t get me wrong, I m not jealous of the time you spend with them because they seem to make you happy, and when you re happy I m happy! I and our group of friends have once again adjusted to your new “lifestyle changes”
