Growing up across the street from each other in Twin Falls, Idaho, Lisa Fry and Paula Turner never doubted 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 close like before.”

Finally, Fry summoned（鼓起）the 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 confidences.

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

There are good reasons to cherish our friendships. Some years ago a public-opinion research firm, Roper Starch Worldwide, asked 2007 people to identify one or two things that said the most about themselves. 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 keep us connected,” says Donald Pannen, executive officer of the Western Psychological Association. “ It is a heritage（財(cái)產(chǎn)）we should protect.”

Ironically, says Brant R. Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. “ the better friends you are, the more likely you’ll face conflicts.” And the outcome can be precisely what you don’t want--- an end to the friendship.

The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.
