Be thoughtful ... my friends and I, when one of us mentions something small, often a present related to that little thing will show up in the mail. For example, when my baby was wiggling to Aaron Lines at FanFest, my BF remembered and sent an Aaron Lines CD to "baby." I have rockin' friends.
Understand that when your lives become busy and you don't talk to each other as often as you used to, it does not mean that you are loved any less.
