And your comment really spoke to me as well! I can really relate to what you said in the second paragraph about what you did together! Everything!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. ...Reyna,<br /> Thank you so much for sharing your story. I can definitely relate to just about everything you've mentioned.<br /><br />Aspen and I have been best friends for going on six years now and just in the past couple years have we gotten so incredibly close. If we got any closer, we'd be molded together lol!<br />We didn't see each other quite as often as you saw yours, but we made a point to plan get-togethers with each other as often as we could. And when we did, we did everything together. We talked about anything & everything and never ran out of anything to talk about or ever got tired of talking about the same thing over and over again. We would constantly quote movies, watch movies, cook like crazy, laugh our heads off at EVERYTHING, cuddle her chickens & ducks, make smoothies & experiment with new healthy recipes or making other recipes healthier, and take long walks down dirt roads barefoot.<br />We went through the same situation as you though... Only I was the one to move away. I refused to believe or accept it. Even after we moved I still just couldn't believe that we had left. We were only 8 hours from each other (nothing like the distance you and your friends share), but still it was way too far. I've never been one to cry when saying goodbye, but when I had to tell her bye, the tears came out and wouldn't stop. They didn't stop for months. I was depressed, angry, sad, upset, and felt like part of me was gone. Then in September I left for a job in California, which took me even further away from Aspen and my friends. We keep in touch mainly with texts and each others' blogs and an occasional phone call when we need it (I'm not a fan of talking on the phone as well). <br />It took me a good while, but after Christmas, when I came back to California after a two week break back at home (unfortunately we were unable to see each other), I finally started to heal or rather allow God to start healing me. I started reading my Bible daily and praying and talking with Him every day. It helped so much and while I am still sad and miss Aspen and my other friends oh so much, I've learned to be happy again. I haven't made any friends here in California which is fine because this is only temporary and back home I've gotten to know a few people I enjoy to be around, but like you said, no one can replace my friends especially my best friends and no one I would really have a heart-to-heart talk with.<br />I'm looking forward to when I finally get to go home (in May hopefully) because we are planning on hopefully to be able to get together and spend a couple weeks together!<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing. It really touched me.<br /><br />♥Kayla♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798836346750848042noreply@blogger.com
