Long-Distance Friendship Part-2

Yesterday I talked about how to maintain contact with your friends who are living far away. Let me give you few more ideas which will keep your friendship ticking, even if you are miles apart from your friends and dear ones.

# There may be several occasions in your friend's life in which you cannot participate in, like their birthdays, weddings, anniversaries,and you just can’t be there in person to celebrate. In situations like these, you can send a small gift to them wrapped nicely in gift wrappers, which will be a token of your wonderful friendship. For instance, if a friend has recently given birth, you can send a magazine subscription to a parents magazine. Similarly, you can send small books on friendship, newspaper or magazine clippings on an area that interests your friend, small candles, lotions and oils, scented soaps, or anything luxurious to show that you care for your friend.

# A great way to keep in touch with your distant friends is planning get togethers once in a year. You can plan a fixed time of the year, so that all your friends know about it and you all go for a great trip! Camping with your friends would be great fun. Other than that, you can have fun in group activities such as boating, swimming, campfires, bar-b-ques, and the like. Adult slumber parties are also great fun as you get to remember old fun!

# If you happen to visit the city that your dear friend lives in, do not forget to drop by his or her place. Whether it is a business trip or a casual holiday, you can take out few hours from your busy schedule and meet up with your friend. They will appreciate the fact that you have not forgotten them. If you feel that they might not be available at home, call them up, or pay a surprise visit!

With little effort from both sides, we can keep the flame of love and friendship alive through years. If the ties of friendship are strong, then distance cannot douse that flame.
