Get in contact

Not by chance today I met a old friend who I had not been in contact with for a long time.

I have often thought about my friend Bill, but always put off for one reason or other making that contact. I would see pictures on the TV, the internet or in books and magazines, that would remind me of our good and bad times together. Even walking down the street, sometimes I would see someone who had the same hair style, the same posture, and my memories would go back to Bill.

So I made the effort, and made contact with Bill and we met. It was such a relief, we still got on. After a good hand shake, we talked about the good times we had together, recalling memories, asking each other about other friends.

“Where was Richard?”

“What has happened to Sidney?”

Bill told me that Sid had got together with an old friend Jenny, and that they were happy with their situation, pity really, as I know Bill had always wanted a long term relationship with Jenny. But, Bill I found out had moved away and lost contact.

Like me, Bill had failed to keep in contact.

I made a resolution to keep in contact with Bill in the future, and go out of my way to contact others.

You never know what may come up.
