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. Do you remember a friendship lost until the two of you managed to patch things up, or managed to track each other down after many years, or across many miles? Or are you still hoping for that to happen before it’s too late? Think back about Mending Fences and share forward!Stories on This Week's Writing Prompt
