Pen Friend Musings – The lost friend

As I was looking through my box of past letters I notice something. A few good pals have not replied back to my last letter, some as far back as 6 months.

Their lives may have gotten busy or life happened and they have not gotten back to responding. I tend to hold on to these letters for quite a while and I am not sure why. I think I hope that once life settles down they will again pick up pen and paper and write about what has being going on in their life. I don’t mind waiting for a reply if I have a feeling if in the slightest that it is coming. Maybe a quick email or post card saying

 

Hey a letter will be on it’s way as soon as I get things in order or something.

 

but no all I hear is silence.  Well I will never know or have an answer to this question but..  Why do good pen friends go missing?
