        <![CDATA[ So here is the deal... When I was a kid, my neighbor and I were best friends.. We did everything together, went to school, picked on old people, stole the
boy&#39;s tree forts...


Anyway, as most children do we grew apart... We wrote a handful of letters to each other when my family first moved, but in time our own lives took p residence
and we went our own ways... Now, some 13 years later, we have crossed paths... Next month I will be going to visit a few friends in WA, and was talking... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey! I&#39;ve missed you this past weekend--hope it was a good one for you.
<br>
<br>
I think you&#39;re brave to organize the meeting in the first place, and I&#39;m glad that you&#39;re going to go meet her...just sounds like you could use
advice and suggestions in the meantime? The closest thing I can compare this to for me is the convention in Burbank. The night I was supposed to leave, I was
talking to my friend Anthony, and saying that as silly as it might sound, now that the time was... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I had a dream last night about meeting my childhood best friend again.
<br>
It was the scariest thing I&#39;d done in a while. In my dreams she is still the girl I knew back then. Even though I know she is no longer that person. She
became the person I was on the path to becoming before I met her. We just drifted apart after a few years. I left, and I feel horrible about it, that we...well
I never got the closure I needed, it was just left hanging. I saw her not even three or four years ago,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ thats just it... We are completely different... Our paths in life seemed to have crossed, and some how over the last several years we ended up on each others
paths... She has turned into the woman that she thought that I would be, and some how, I turned into the woman that I thought she would be...
<br>
<br>
I am not totally convinced that meeting with her would be a bad thing... I am fully aware that life changes people, some times for the better, some times for
the worst.. What I am... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Go for it! I can totally understand. My best friend and I from my childhood lost contact with each other for about 11 years. I just found her on facebook and
it&#39;s like we are two totally different people. But I think that the root of friendships stay strong even though we may part so just go and have fun! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I say try for it. Not long ago I ran into a friend that I grew up with and hadn&#39;t seen in almost 30 years! We exchanged phone numbers and agreed to meet
for lunch someday. I was shocked to learn that she&#39;d left her husband. She may be shocked to learn that I&#39;m gay...so I have no idea how the
conversation&#39;s going to go. I&#39;ll be giving her a call. If nothing comes of it than just lunch, that&#39;s OK. Friends are hard to come by, so go for
it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Just be yourself and it&#39;ll encourage her to be herself. You&#39;ve probably both changed a great deal but remember that she&#39;s in this situation as much
as you are. She&#39;s probably just as nervous about it. But you&#39;re two old friends meeting, no matter what. Who knows, you both might still see something
you recognize in each other. I&#39;ve always loved seeing old friends again, regardless of how long it has been since the last encounter. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Not really. I&#39;ve got a friend I&#39;ve done the same thing to, I keep pushing and pushing and it never happens cause I&#39;m just a little bit too weirded
out and afraid at this point.
<br>
<br>
But I think the best way is to actually treat it as if you are meeting a stranger, or someone you&#39;ve met online but never in &quot;real life&quot;. Meet up
at some neutral place like a coffeeshop and set a timeframe. Say that you&#39;re gonna meet for 2 hours and then you have to be somewhere... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I could understand, Ive been best friend with my neighbour, when I look at old pictures its full of us doing the stuff we shouldnt do;) we were a bit tomboyish
so we were always in trees, being at places we were not allowed but always making a great deal of fun. I moved when I was 13 and I haven&#39;t seen her since.
Sometimes I wonder if we could still get along but most of me just things we grew appart. Though sometimes itll be nice to see what shes like now we grew up to
be totally... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Take the plunge sweetie! She may be a breath of fresh air for you. Give yourself a chance, you are a beautiful person and if she is as good a person she will
recognise the goodness in you and wouldn&#39;t be able to stop herself frombeing your friend.

<br>
GO FOR IT!
