Have you ever lost a friend and not known what happened to them?

1 Answer

Answer :

Many. Most of them actually, since I keep moving. They probably wonder the same about me, since they stay where they are and I’m always the one passing through. The one friend I always wonder about is my friend George who went to study in Italy. I wonder where he is now. I once received an email from another friend of mine, who had been searching for me online (and eventually tracked me down). That was nice.
