Any happy stories of repaired friendships pleased?

[Kvala]

For various reasons which I won't go into because it's not the main point, I feel like a close friendship is coming to an end. No big argument, just that we have drifted apart and she has replaced me with other friends that she would prefer to spend time with.

I get that these things happen and friendships come and go in life but I'm sad. We only like a mile apart (although in a city so it's not like we run into each other every day) and it feels weird not to be spending time with her anymore. I'm therefore looking for stories of friendships that have ended and then after months / years restarted again to give me hope that the friendship might not be over but just on a bit of a break.

live not like a mile apart

This happened to me 3 x
friend 1: there was a falling out and we never spoke again. Still really dislike her and pray we never cross paths (never have in 10yrs thankfully despite apparently living 2 miles away from
One another).
friend 2: she went odd, cut me off- I tried and tried to be there but was pushed away. Made up years later at her request and then a couple of years later went odd again. I do actually miss her but tbh she’s unhinged and I really wouldn’t invest a third time should the opportunity present itself.
friend 3: I felt she had changed, become money obsessed and demanding, smug (around her wedding), and just walked away. After I had my baby a few years later she reached out to congratulate me (knew via mutual friends). Then after the off message I wrote her a big apology message saying I wish I’d handled things differently and that I missed her friendship, missed her having her baby etc. Definitely good friends again now and glad I reached out.

It depends on so many factors as to whether things repair themselves. Fingers x OP
