Grade school is full of regrets and I am no exception. Wrong decisions, bad grades, and the famous relationships with the people you chose to stand by you through the rough years of adolescence.

To my dear friends that I have lost over these years,

As regrettable as our falling out is I have only trust in God who is leading us down separate paths. There is no greater reason for this writing than to let you know that hard feelings are the farthest thing from what I feel about our mutual and very conscious decision to live life apart. I still think about you regularly, the times we dreamed of having together and coming to the realization that God was working in us. God just wanted us to live separate lives, which was difficult. I missed you, I sometimes still do.

I will probably always wonder exactly what it was that drove us apart, but for today I will be thankful to see you with different people. I will forever hope that those people treat you better and appreciate you more than I did. In the future days, as we both change, for the better I pray, I hope we could reconnect. I hope we could evaluate the changes we both made to fulfill the dreams that together we dreamed. I hope that, by God's will, we will once again become members in this life together.
