Keeping in touch

It's so easy to fall out of touch with old friends. A missed phonecall here, a forgotten birthday there, a "we'll pop in next time" or a "it's a bit out the way".

But when you make the effort it's no effort at all. You quickly remember why you liked them so much in the first place; the easy chat, the genuine affection, the shared memories.

We were lucky enough to do that twice today and both times I walked away promising not too leave it so long next time. But, you know what? It doesn't matter. 5 days, 5 months, 5 years - it's not how long that matters, it's that I know I can pick up with them again within minutes and it's like that time was no time at all...
