Teresa in MO Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 When I was growing up, there were 4 of us girls the same age that lived on my street. We grew up together. There was always one of us not getting along with another, you know how it is. As we got married, we went separate ways. One moved out of town, and I run into one every once in a while at the store. The other one I haven't seen in 40 years, except once maybe 20-25 years ago at Target. We connected on Facebook the beginning of the year and have text back and forth a little. I am going to her house this afternoon for lunch I'm a bit nervous Ever since by dh passed away, any time I am the least bit nervous I have weird physical symptoms. Plus my hearing is horrible, so I'm a little nervous about that. Trying to decide between an implant or a regular hearing aid. I have been trying to go out of my comfort zone. We will see how it goes. Thanks for listening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Have a great time! I reconnected with one of my childhood friends recently and it was amazing. And don’t be shy about asking her to speak up if you can’t hear. It’s no big deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieSong Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I hope you have a fun visit with your friend! If it were me, I'd explain about the hearing problem at the beginning. People are understanding about those things. Sent from my XT1635-01 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Another vote for explaining about the hearing problem in the beginning - things will go much more smoothly! And remember, she’s probably just as nervous as you are!! Have fun! Anne 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teresa in MO Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Thanks everyone! It went really well. I was there for 5 hours. We just talked and talked. She lost a sister suddenly a few months before my dh passed away, so we shared alot of the same feelings. It was nice to talk to someone who truly understands. I wish neither of us were in that situation, but we both could relate to each other. Was really a wonderful afternoon. We are going to try and contact the other 2 girls and see if we can arrange for us all to get together next time. 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I just saw your OP, so glad the visit went well! What a blessing you are to each other, in processing all you've been through. Edited March 4, 2018 by Seasider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'm so glad your visit went well! I've been reconnecting with old, old friends recently (my high school reunion is coming up, and I've never gone before due to living on the other side of the country and life in general). It's surprising how sweet and strongly rooted some of those old friendships are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I’m so glad to hear that things went so well, but I wish you’d both had happy experiences to bond over, rather than such sad ones. :grouphug: I hope you’re able to get together again soon!

It's been my experience that those childhood friendships are similar to those of cousins who lived far away. There's a bond there that isn't shared with anyone else who comes into my life later. It's one of the reasons I love Facebook. The old slights are forgotten, and the sweet times stand out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieSong Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'm so happy for you, that you had such a good time reconnecting with your friend! I understand about feeling nervous because I felt that way, too, before seeing friends I hadn't seen in decades. I hope your get together with your other friends is just as enjoyable.
