Irony

I have a situation I want to discuss about some friends of mine.  As always, they will remain nameless but I will call them Friend1 and Friend2 for explanation purposes.  Friend1 and Friend2 hit a rough spot in their relationship.  Rough to the point they stopped hanging out and speaking with each other.  I remained friends with both of them during this time and would often have to relay messages due to their stubbornness.  They eventually squashed the problem and became friends again.  Now one of them is moving away.  Previously when they were not speaking, Friend1 didn’t seem to care Friend2 was not a part of everyday life.  Now with the news of the move, Friend1 has expressed deep sorrow leading up to the departure of Friend2.  Isn’t that ironic?  Less than a year ago, you didn’t care about each other.  Now, you can’t see being away from each other.  The universe plays some cruel tricks at times.
