I disconnected with my childhood friend!
Greetings, everyone who loves hivelearners contest. Welcome to another featured topic of the week.

There is this childhood friend I had in my secondary school days. Infact , our friendship started before we entered secondary school. We were friends from church to school. We bear the same name Emen vs. Emem. The same height, though I was a year older than her. We wear the same cloth/style if we were going for an occasion. Anywhere, we would always be found together. We came from different backgrounds, different characters, with our different uniqueness. While mingling with her, she was a bit of advance in terms of boys matter than me. Me, what did I know that time. We stay as friends, I didn't know she had gone farther than me.
A time came that I was taken out of the village to live with my pastor in town, there was that connection since the pastor was pastoring our local church. There was a cap because we couldn't go nor wear the same dress again to anywhere. My relationship with her was genuine.
While staying with my pastor, something happened between me and her, that led to a quarrel, but our relationship ended at last. We got separated, but then we were still in touch, saying hi to each other.
She later got pregnanted by his boyfriend and put to birth to a bounciful baby boy at the exact 9 months. I thanked God for successful labor. Unfortunate, for her this man that she is marrying to is a cultist and God by her side, she has a good mother-in-law who is always on her side whenever her husband mishave.
She is still in the marriage with two beautiful children.
For years now we have not met, her children and her husband. If We should meet at any point, we will hug each other. I forgave her and the things that happened between us. I mean, exchanging pleasantries like we are still friends.
Friendship matters, if it was our childhood friends, or you start up somewhere, one day you have issues with him or her and there will always be room for forgiveness. You don't know what tomorrow will bring or look like.
Forgiveness is very valid when it comes to relationships.
I lost her contact, no caring, but I do ask of her whenever I go to the village.
Her disconnection brought another friend who bears the same name Emem in my SSS 2 class. The girl was nice and friendly, until today we are still in contact with her, calling her, asking her how she is faring.
By God's Grace she is doing well.
