I have a childhood friend who is still my 'friend'. Well, maybe she's more like a cousin to me. We may not agree on a lot of things, but I don't think our relationship will really end because we pretty much feel like 'family'. We don't even really hang out much, I finally saw her after over a year yesterday but we still respect each other very much. Our family used to travel together when we were younger and spend holidays and events together, since neither of us have relatives here in this country. Do you have a childhood friend you still keep in touch with? Or did you have real cousins? Or both?

Hi dear,
I have a strong relationship with my childhood friends. All are got separated with its own reasons. Many are from my school days. I had only selected minimal friends and it was a string health relationship. After many years, I met one of them last year. I stayed her home even one day. Now she is with h/b and children and children are in high school level and colleges. We had a long hours of talk and revision of memories and all and as I had to leave for the next day I left them very early morning.
Later on, I was thinking that I should not have to meet her. Yes, we all were so happy to meet after about 25 years!! After 6-8 months I thought that I should not have to meet her. Why? I had a old memorable past life to think over and memorise. But once we met I think all got revised and the strength of the relation got spoiled. I don’t know how to express the difference, but something inner indication that it was not to meet her and that was the best to keep the memories shining forever.
However, all those fond memories of child hood and those child hood friends are always considered as an asset for the shining live forever and ever.
Thank-s

Hi dear,
Yes, true, I think you understood what I mean. It was a time we enjoyed the life of our own world with simplicity and purity around our small world. Now the things have been changed a lot and we are living the present world. Even though I remains with the same circumstances, I can easily move on to the past life as it is and it is not necessary that all should be like that.
They have changed a lot and the present life and pattern of life improved a lot and every piece of life shows something extra and which I could not afford. I mean to say the purity has gone and now it is mixed the modern extravagance. But never mind, I didn’t feel so bad, because people moves as time changes. It is not their mistake and 99% of the people will do that way.
Even she is also so good and we talked about all those stories revised till late night and they were even now a good family only. Still, something is missing and there was a gap – it is time we should realize and understand and feel the difference. If we do so, I think there won’t be much of mental strain any more.
Nice to hear from you, and people those who had such experiences can easily make out the feelings.
Thank-s

My best friend when I was a child was my first cousin. We were like twins before, wearing similar clothes when we play and we're always together every day! She was my mom's favorite niece and whenever my mom would buy me clothes, she would get one for her two.
Now she's a nun and I got her as my son's godmother. We rarely communicate through the phone and hardly see each other, but deep in our hearts we're still best friends and love each other deeply.

Yes I do have such friends and my cousins are I still keep in touch with my cousins , because we grew up together . One of them even studies at the same school I do and we meet quite often . Even if we are not as close as we used to be I still call him a friend and can count on him , just like I will be there for him if he needs me .
It's a good thing to have a lifetime friend , who you can count on for everything.

I have a couple childhood friends that I keep in touch with. Our parents used to hang out together in highschool and up until they all had kids so the kids grew up together. Since everyone has gotten older we don't see them as much, but that bond is there forever. I also have a best friend that I've been friends with for 25 years. Our lives have taken us in different directions but we still try to see each other a few times a year. We will always be "family" to each other.

I really feel blessed because I have child hood friends who are still my friends. My best friends are my child hood friends and we spend much time together. I have cousins as well but as we stay away from them we hardly meet. So, I am not very close with them. But I have my childhood friends who are more dear to me than my cousins. I have my best friend with whom I studied from my childhood. We are very close friends and help each other in every way.
