i have a bestfriend for 12 years now. we went to the same school in highschool and had been bestfriends ever since. i went to another city when we started college while she was left on the provice and studied there. since internet wasn't that famous that time, we send each other letters from time to time. and even if we're both too busy with our studies, we never have forgotten each other. there were times when we rarely send each others mails. and even to a point when we thought that our communication had ended especially when we both were so busy with our thesis. but after college, it was so surprising. she found a job in the city i am living in. and our friendship's finally back as if we never had those busy years apart. i do have lots of friends in college, too. they had also been there through thick and thin. but i am still proud to say that my bestfriend for 12 years will always be my bestfriend for life.

I am 26 and so is she. We met when we were 9 years old and ever since then we have been best friends. We have been through everything together.. First kiss, first boyfriend, first broken heart and basically all the firsts! We no longer live in the same own and we live very different lives. I have a bf whom I live with - we still live tha "party-life" where we go out alot and stuff like that. She lives with her husband to be - has a one year old and lives as a housewife... despite this, we talk ATLEAST once a day on the phone...

My best friend and I got to know each other when she was dating my husband's cousin . She was really young at the time and we didn't have much in common but as she got older and had her own children we found we had a lot in common with each other . She has three children and I have five . Our last two , we were pregnant together and are children are really close in age . She has a lot of my beliefs . She is a really strong person who has put up with a lot of crap in her life to try and make a better life for her children . She is very quick to share what she has with other's and thinks about other's before herself . There is a big age difference between us but that no longer matters to me as I have since learned that age does not matter when you come to care about someone . She moved away last year and I miss her a lot . I miss seeing her children and she is very good to talk to them about me . My little one act's like they are still here and says that her children are still her best friends' in the whole world . We talk on the phone and talk on the internet and last year I went out to stay with her and she has made a few trips back home since she moved . I was really sad to see her go but understood that she needed to do this for herself and I don't think she has ever regretted her decision and this makes me happy for her . No matter how far away she is , I still know that she is there for me when I need her and my children will always know she will always be there for them if they ever need her as they were able to talk to her about things they found it hard to talk to other people about especially my son .

being apart from someone who means a lot to us is always difficult. the good thing is, no matter how far people go, no matter how far friends travel, in our hearts, we're still near.

wow! isn't it great to be finally reunited with your high school bestfriend? i met her when i was a freshman high school student. we only spent time at school because we lived apart from each other. that friendship was just 10 months. we were separated because our school was dissolved and her family moved to the north. we even haven't had the chance to hug and kiss goodbye because i went to a family trip when she visited my house to say goodbye. that was 23 years ago. we just kept in touch through snail mails. she went abroad and we lost in touch. just last year we were reunited through the internet. she's now married and has got kids. despite our absence, our friendship has remained. she's back to my country now but i'm the one working abroad. i'm still keeping all the letters, cards and photos she had sent me. i'm glad that we're reunited through the internet but we both hope to see each other soon. probably on my next homecoming. cheers to friends and good frienships!

I got lots of best friends when I was in elementary and high school but after school years we lost our communication so I think I found my best friend in my college days. On the first day of school in college, We are first year college that time and she is my sit mate in all subjects. Until the day of graduation she is still my sit mate. We share all our secrets to each other and we can easily understand each other. For me, she is one the kindly person I ever know. Until now that we are far from each other, we still have communication and we still visit each other and hangout in our free time.
