Yes. One is my cousin and the other my best friend for 35 years. We were close before texting was around.

My best friend, over the weekend, found out his old aunt died. He usually doesn't text me on weekends but texted me to tell me. He felt guilty as he didn't respond to years of birthday letters and well wishes over the years. I asked him why he didn't tell her he appreciated the efforts and he said "life, busy, all that." I can attest he had plenty of time. He's not that busy and wastes a lot of time doing childish things.
