How good it felt to jump into the cool lake after sweating it out in the sauna? How the heat of the bonfire kissed your cheeks goodnight?

Maybe you did it all. Regardless of how extensive your participation was in the community growing up, one thing is for sure: these friendships will last a lifetime.
But sometimes the reality is that they can be difficult to maintain. Life is hectic. People grow older and fall out of touch. Maybe the person you once shared a bunk bed with at summer camp now lives an ocean away from you.
