Day 9- Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.

I've decided to double up on posts to make up for all the days I didn't have time.

Looking back on all the people I knew and all the people I don't talk to anymore I'd have to say that for most of them we just grew apart due to changing interests or different life paths. There are two people however that, while I still keep in contact with them occasionally, I wish we communicated more.
One of them is Lucy. She was one of the two friends I talked about in my previous post, one of the people who stood by me through all the hard times. After high school she moved to Wales to go to college. As far as I know she's still living there with her boyfriend. I guess living halfway around the world is a good excuse not to visit each other, but I wish we still talked more.
The other one is Shana. I met Shana in college, by chance. She sat on the other side of the room in my Italian class, and when I found out she was the only other person in the class who played a musical instrument we decided to study together. It turns out we had quite a bit in common, and I loved writing lyrics with her and singing while she played the guitar.
It makes things difficult because she doesn't like my husband - she knew me at a time when he did something to break my heart and doesn't believe in second chances. While she's accepted that I am happy she has decided that she doesn't ever want to like him as a person, even though they are so similar it's scary. I wish she could get past it because I know they could talk for hours about the zombie apocalypse, and religion, and German language, culture, and bands. The living on the other side of the world doesn't really help things either.
