"A melancholy lesson of advancing years is the realisation that you can't make old friends."

This NYT article from a year ago really resonated with me:

NOTE: the link doesn't seem to work but if you Google:" New York TImes Friends of a certain age"

you should get to a terrific article on this subject.
