I regret ...Part one

For a long time my best friend in the world was M. We were so close, I called her mum "mum" and M called my parents "mum and dad". Through high school, first jobs and the discovery of boys we were (mostly) inseperable.As we got older of course we had our tiffs and issues but that didn't do anything to weaken our bond as best friends. Then as we embraced adulthood, of course there was distict changes in our friendship. Real life tends to get in the way. M met a guy who proposed very quickly ( the 3rd person to propose to her, the first she seemed to seriously consider as a life partner.) They got engaged, got married and eventually moved away to another state.This was a turning point in our friendship. If you ask most married people who is more important- spouse or friend I'm sure most people would choose spouse. M and her husband G lived interstate from where home was to me and during the year or so they were away we barely spoke. We tried to keep in touch by email and messenger but it wasn't the same. So I guess lack of dedication led to us drifting further away from each other as friends.M and G's marraige didn't work out, and so she moved home.
