So here I sit 25 years later looking at a friend request on Facebook from none other than that very dear childhood friend. How very excited I am to have her back in my world, albeit the Facebook world, but it is still part of my life.
Each time I "run into" an old friend on Facebook (or Twitter or myspace or simply email) my heart is filled with joy and my memories take me back to those years; my years in Texas, Illinois, Florida, New York, Iceland... (the list seems impossibly endless). It certainly makes me happy that I didn't burn bridges. These are the people I grew up with. They are friends. They are a part of my history and even who I am now.
If you are starting the process of saying goodbye, recognize that "Good-bye" is not permanent. It is a big deal, but stay in touch. Keep the fire of friendship alive. Think about all of the new friends you will make in the next few months and into years.
