This document discusses the changing nature of friendships over time. It notes that friends who are very close one year may drift apart in later years, only communicating occasionally or stopping communication altogether. However, it stresses that even if friends lose touch, each person had an impact and was special to the other. It encourages sending the message to all friends, both old and new, to let them know they are cared for and will not be forgotten.
