Friends play an important role in our life. Most people hope that their friends will always be there. They _36_ friendship to last forever. _37_, even the best friendship can end.

As time goes by,  many friendships end because of a(n) _38_ in personality or way of life. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally_39_.

Tommy wrote, “I didn’t even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend.”

Peter explained. “We _40_ seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over.”

Sometimes friendships_41_ suddenly from a disagreement or move to another place.

Alice said,  “The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I moved from one side of the city to the other. Since then we _42_ made a phone call. We met less and less. At last our friendship ended.”

Jack said, “ When I moved to Seattle after college, our friendship died. Both of us were always_43_ with new jobs, so we didn’t keep _44_ touch with each other. Our friendship was so dead that I didn’t call him _45_ I went home.”

Yet the biggest problem to a friendship is change. Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends say, “Generally it’s _46_ that friends will accept each oth er if they both remain what they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the friendship most likely _47_ lost.”

No matter why, when, or how friendships end, there is always _48 _ pain of loss.  When nothing can be _49_  to keep the friendship, it is important to forget the pain. Then move on _50 _ new friendships.

May new friendships bring you pleasure and happiness!
