Mending Fences
From childhood we’ve learned that part of life is losing and misplacing friendships, and then making efforts to reunite and make amends. Some friendships break up over disagreements or wrong choices - real or perceived - that are made. And sometimes life just takes you down different roads until one day you meet again.
