Is it normal to miss your childhood best friend?

When I was knee high to a bunnies ear I had this best friend; we were practically inseparable. Her grandma was my neighbor so every weekend she would visit. She was pretty spoiled so not a lot of people liked her, but she meant a lot to me. As years passed, I ended up moving to a different city. I remember running into her mom at a hospital (her mom is/was a nurse) and she gave me her number and said that I should call and visit sometime. I never called because I lost her number. That was 9/10 years ago. I just miss her. I wish I could get in touch with her and see if she's still alive and well. I even still have this stuffed animal frog that she got me for my 6th or 7th birthday. I know it may sound silly or stupid but I sometimes wonder if she has thought about me. is it normal to miss my childhood best friend so much?

      Haha, I made it up after always hearing "knee high to a grasshopper" and "knee high to a turtle".

    I miss one of my childhood friends too. My sister was dating his older brother so for a while I got to go to his house all the time. We went swimming together, he had a play room that had nothing but toys scattered everywhere and we practiced cartwheels together and watched Fox Kids. He showed me how to efficiently wipe water out of my eyes and I will never forget that. One day my mom became paranoid about my well-being under his mother's supervision and the friendship might as well have been banned. We never did anything wrong and looking back I say we were both good kids, but apparently his mom was a drunk. I couldn't even hang out with him before he moved. I do sometimes wonder if he remembers me. I can't even look him up on facebook because neither me or my sister remembers his last name.

      That's why I can't find my friend; I forgot her last name. Maybe one day you'll find him. :)

    Normal. There are many people from my past that I would like to get in contact with again but sadly, I can't remember most of their names, whether it be their first or last. I also don't have a Facebook so it makes it harder.

    This sounds too obvious, but have you googled her? Facebook?

    I hope you find your friend. Maybe star asking people to ask people to ask people about their last name. I can't find my third grade friends either because of moving and having forgotten their last names as well, but something amazing happened about two or three years ago. I received a Facebook friend request and a message from the only friend I had in my early childhood, asking me if I was so and so and we reconnected, obviously as if we were complete strangers who had just met (we were too young at the time, so we remember each other because of our family pictures) This might give you some hope :) Odds are that your friend probably remembers you too, you should keep trying.
