HAVE YOUR SAY — Are you still in touch with your childhood friends?

Some friendships survive school changes, new careers, growing families and even long distances. Others slowly fade as life moves on. Do you still regularly speak to, visit or message the friends who shared your childhood years?

Yes, I do. Some are family members, and because we live nearby, we often see each other. Others I see less often, but whenever we meet, it feels as though we have never been apart.

Yes. We did not remain friends because we never changed; we remained friends because, through all life’s changes, we kept finding our way back to each other.
