I don't really know how it happened that we drifted apart around then, but it did. We reunited on Facebook many years later. I had first found her mom on Facebook and we chatted. When I went back home for a visit, I stopped to see her mom. The friend lived in another state by this point. We reconnected not long after and we keep in touch pretty regularly.

I just love hearing these stories! I agree, we often just drift apart. For me, the drifting apart has come from moving to different states. That's the good thing about Facebook, though - it has united lots of people and many of them have gone on to meet IRL.
