I'm joining other bloggers in the BlogBlast for Peace.
See Mimi's post here.
I am someone who puts extreme value on friendships and
I am also someone who has lost a best friend.
There is a raw and peculiar bond that female friendships have.
It is at once fierce and yet gently familiar.
All women recognize it, though rarely do we talk about it.
The loss of a friend, whether it is due to death or estrangement is extremely painful.
A friendship misplaced due to irreconcilable differences has a slim chance of genuinely mending. When differences have been assigned high premiums by each individual, then it seems almost impossible.
That said, can we love from afar?
(can we still love based purely on the memory of the old friendship?)
If you have ever lost a friend due to unwavering beliefs but had the chance to make peace, would you?
