I can relate because I've moved so much and lost touch with close, old friends at times but the love is still there. I have to say that now my two closest friends now are people I lost touch with at various points over the years of moving here and there but whom I've known since I was a child. One lives in Colorado too! When you click with someone that way (like a sibling or family member), bonding happens and distance can't tear it apart. Again, I am so happy for you! :)nicolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634572672852445923noreply@blogger.com
