When I was in junior high, and later when I attended high school I got some very good friends. I don't keep in thouch with a single one of them on a regular basis. However, when we meet, there is a bonding that has not changed. In a way we can continue where we last ended out conversation - last year, or some twenty years ago.
I have got many friends since then, but I have developed very few intimate friendships since my early twenties. But those few that I have developed, have become more and more important.
Studies has shown that one out of three people above 66 years old (in Norway) say that they don't have one single close friend. It is sad.
I hope I can always have a few close friends with whom I can continue to share happiness and sorrow... I have realised that I need it.
