Loosing Friends

I entitle this blog "loosing friends" because I have recently lost a friend. No, that friend did not pass away or move. This friend is half way across the country to begin with. I have known this person for about 7 years, granted it has not been continuous. We have been keeping in touch with emails and texting, maybe 2-3 times a week. This past week I text this person, nothing serious, but I get reply that says "Please do not contact me anymore". I replied with an "are you serious?". This person was serious. I asked for an explanation, but no reply. I can think of numerous reasons why this person would do this, but I have to leave it at that. I can not think of any thing that I may have done wrong, but who knows.
This got me thinking of all the friends that I have lost contact with. We live in a world that it could not be any easier to keep in contact, i.e. myspace, facebook, email, texting, and last time I checked the post office still delivers mail. I try to do what I can to keep in contact with people. Sometimes I slack, sometimes I take initiative. I mean, "everybody" has a cell phone. It is hard to tell if people just does not like you or they are "too busy". Life is about family an friends and how hard is it to keep in contact or let them know why you can not or do not keep in touch.
