Have your say: Are you still in touch with your childhood friends?

Some friendships survive school changes, new careers, growing families and even long distances. Others slowly fade as life moves on. Do you still regularly speak to, visit or message the friends who shared your childhood years?

Madelein van As, Thabazimbi:
“Ja, ek het steeds kontak met my skoolvriend. Ons is sedert graad 3 vriende en woon nou in dieselfde straat. Hy het onlangs pa geword van ’n pragtige dogtertjie. Ons is albei 36 en verjaar net ses dae uitmekaar.”

Moitsheki Machavi, Thabazimbi:
“No, we lost contact because of different careers, growing families and the long distance between us. However, I still value them dearly. Wonderful memories never fade, and they will always have a special place in my heart.”
