Friendships come and go. Why some can last the test of time and others cannot is a mystery to me.
I couldn't agree more...

Again, very well said.

I definitely agree..I also for the most part don't think when friends go separate ways it's intentional, but rather we are separated by the rituals and yes, craziness of life. I feel that one day if it's meant to be, those paths will intertwine again.
I also wanted to add that when I do run into friends I lost contact with especially from high school, it's like no time has passed when we do get together.
As for me, I gotta disagree with ya on this point Morph. I have a great group of friends who get together once a month. Anywhere from 6 to 12 show up; we've all known each other since Jr High (which for us was approx 40 years ago). We were all in the same neighborhood gang (as in group of friends, not a gang of thugs), and were all involved in the same church youth group. We have a blast talking about the past, the present and the future.
You disagree with me!
, just playing with you! The only thing I would have to say about your life and your friends is that you were born in a generation where friendships mattered and were valued more. As far as my paradigm, I believe we are moving in the direction much like Egypt where as each successor generation gets worse.
In my generation (x) it's totally different as friendships are pretty much on the back burner as everybody's is scrambling to find there niche in this constantly changing mosaic.
Anyhow, I was looking at some clips of Carl Lewis and I came across this vid where he touches a little bit on what we are talking about... Just start at 4:58 and it ends at 6:00
