    One thought provoking comment I saw years ago was someone who posted the thought that … at one point when we were out there running around with our friends when we were kids, there was one special moment when we last saw each other together and then everything changed and we couldn’t be together again.

    I think about that often.

      The night of my 11th birthday party when my mom received a call about grandma passing away… someone overheard it, so they decided we’d play hide&seek, and left me “seeking” while everyone just left and went home.

      I don’t think about it often anymore, but that was the last time I called them “friends”.

      Damn it’s always tough when you know it’s the last time you’ll ever see that person, like you feel like you somehow need to sum up your entire time knowing that person. A lot of people just kind of dip out quietly to try and avoid that super tough last time.
