Hey buddy, Forgot to add some thing in my previous reply. Yes, friends are for life. But they are the true friends. I have learned that there are two mainly two types of friendships that we confuse. Good friendship and true friendship. Good friendship: friends from this group are with us during good times. They are with us while we are partying, going to a lake, going to a movie, eating, laughing, and doing all good things in life. They are with us enjoying life. But when real tough time or hard times come, they merely symphatize and that's all. True friends: These friends might not be with us when we are enjoying life but whenever tough times come and we need their help, they are always ready to help us out not matter what or no matter how long of a gap you guys have had. If a person is both a god friend and a true friend, that's a true blessing. A true friend always forgive you and never walks away from your life no matter what. He or she might be offended (if you're at fault) for a while but as soon as he cools down camoes back to you, but a good friend, if offended, might not do that. So, my conslusion is, if the person's really, really ignoring you no matter why he is distancing from you, is not your true friend!!!!!!!
