Growing up across the street from each other in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted that their friendship would last forever. But after Fry married, moved to New York City and had a baby, her letters to Turner suddenly went unanswered. “Do you think I’ve somehow offended her?” Fry asked her husband.

Turner, meanwhile, had convinced herself she was no longer important to Fry. “She’s got a family now,” she told herself. “We’re just too different to be as close as before.”

Finally, Fry picked up courage to call her old friend. At first, the conversation was awkward, yet soon they both admitted that they missed each other. A month later, they got together and quickly fell into their old habit of laughing and sharing their secrets.

“Thank goodness I finally took action,” Fry said. “We both realized we were as important to each other as ever.”

There are many good reasons to cherish our friendship. Some years ago, a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2,007 people to identify one or two things they cherished most. Friends far outranked homes, jobs, clothes and cars.

“A well-established friendship carries a long history of experience and interaction that defines who we are and keeps us connected,” said Donald, the executive officer of the Western Psychological Association. “It is heritage we should protect.”

Ironically, Brant R. Burleson, a professor at Chicago University, said, “The better friends you are, the more likely you’ll face conflicts. And the outcome can be exactly what you don’t want-an end to friendship.”

However, the good news is that most troubled friendship can be mended.
