I have...
And I'm still wondering why!
Carol and I were as close as friends could be, over the years becoming like sisters. We met at work in 1981 and quickly became fast friends. Although we were very different from each another, we shared common goals and looked forward to being moms together one day. Carol commented that she was sure we'd always be best friends, even as grandmothers, rocking our grandbabies together. I was sure too!
I had Brandon, she soon had David. I had Courtney, she soon had twins! In the meantime, I had moved 3 hours away and I remember her calling me to tell me that she was pregnant with twins. We were both in shock and just laughed and laughed about it. Carol thought for sure she'd only ever have two children so we thought that was such a funny twist of fate.
Now along the way, I met Sue (that's an interesting story in and of itself) and she quickly became friends with Carol too. These two ladies were truly great friends, very supportive, and I loved raising my kids with them. In about 1990, Carol, Sue, and their kids came up my way for an overnight visit. We had a great time that weekend swimming with the kids, reminiscing, and just catching up on each other's lives. They went home after that weekend but slowly, ever so slowly, Carol started pulling away, and it was never to be the same.
Part II coming up tomorrow!

Ooooh - I don't like where this is headed...
Hmmmmm
Leaving us hanging, are you? Waiting on Part II.
Doesn't sound like a happy ending coming up....
Hugz,

Part I makes my heart hurt. How could anyone pull away from you is beyond me, so I seriously hope that Part II has a happy ending -- I am with Tammy, I am not sure I like where this is headed.
I will definitely be tuning in for Part 2!
Well this isn't a very way for a story to go. I wonder what is happening and I look forward to hearing Part II tomorrow...its too bad when things like that happen.
I was reading your Profile. Very interesting and so many things going on in your life. Change can be such a nice thing...Enjoy..
It was nice to have you come and visit and comment. We really did love eating at Bubba Gumps. Do you live far from there? That was my first trip to California.
have a great day and drop by again..

So sorry, I hope this gets better.
How sad Linda. I'll be tuned for part II
I'll be back...!
Yes, I have had friends do things like that to me. It is hard to understand. I am anxious to hear what happened next. I am sure the Lord had her in your life so that you could show her Jesus though!
Hugs, Sharon
Yep- This has happened to me, too. It's just part of life, I guess. Not an easy one, though. I can't wait to hear the rest of the story! In fact, I am going to follow you!:)
Thanks for entering my giveaway, Sweets! Lori
I guess the '3 kids can never play nicely together' rule applies to adult friendships too?
I had a college roomate who I thought we'd always be close but it didn't work out like that. I've tried to contact her over the years but she seems to be in hiding. I'm guessing that her life isn't going that great and she doesn't want me to know for some reason. That seems very often to be the case in situations like these.
Sorry you got dumped!
Yes, this has also happened to me...and I STILL don't know why or what happened to sour the friendship. This gal & I never had a fight or anything like that. Her parents were close friends of my in-laws (which is how we became friends) and I knew something was up when she sent my in-laws an invitation to her daughter's graduation party...BUT SHE DELIBERATELY LEFT US OUT and never talked to me again. What's REALLY weird is our kids are all friends on Facebook. I still don't get it.
So, I can definitely understand a lot of what you felt. So sad, isn't it? Life is just too short to be acting like this, in my opinion.
Hugs,
Michelle :)
I read part 2 before this one... Oops! I remember as a teenager having a friend that was My Bestest friend ever. We were SO close! Well religion got in the way. She is a total whack! She thinks Mormons are evil & a cult. She could never talk to me without trying to start a fight over religion. We have talked maybe once in 15 yrs.
It's sad!
