Aw one of my best friends, my best friend from childhood years lives SUPER far away, and i miss her very much, everytime we plan to get together to visit eachother SOMETHING always happens and the plans fall through!! We have seen eachother maybe like 3 times in 6 years. It's really sad because we both have kids too and i would enjoy knowing her kids much more then i do.. Do you have a friend you regret you can't spend time with? Do you talk on the phone and internet regularly since you can't see eachother in person?

You mean apart from all our wonderful mylot friends? I do have friends that live far away and it is horrible but I do try to keep in touch. I think the hardest one is my brother - we have always been close and he lives in Spain now - I have only seen him twice in 3 years. xxx

I've a best friend since i was in 6th grade and we studied in the same school until high school. we constantly keep in touch though we didn't hang out with the same crowd. ours is a mature kind of friendship and we respected each other's interests. we went to different universities but we still kept in touch to catch up on each other's lives. when we talk, it's like we see each other everyday! we're like sisters and our boyfriends even thought that we were lesbian lovers in high school, lol! she's in new york now taking up her forensic psych post grad and i'm still here in the philippines finishing my law degree. IM is such a blessing to us, and we talk on the phone a lot. she's the type of friend that you'll grow old with, and i'd like to spend more time with her if given a chance.

My best friend lives far away from me too. But we often chat in the internet so it feels like she's not that far from me. We haven't seen each other for almost 3 years. She's already married while I'm still single, I know that our priorities in life already different but we value our friendship so we still manage to keep in touch. We're both hoping that even we are already old the friendship still there.

Every time I see that photo (that you posted with the two close pal kitties), I feel so warm and happy inside. So cute! Anyway, yes, my childhood best friend moved back to Iceland. But a year after she moved back to Iceland, my whole family visited her there, and snatched her off to go on a vacation to Europe. We still keep in touch (many, many years later), but not enough. It is sad how though you were best friends, distances can make it simmer down, even if you still love each other. But at least we have so many great memories.

I have such a friend like yours.but the difference is we do not often talk on the phone or internet,and we see eachother about two times a year.Although we do not contact with eachother frequently,we always have a lot of topic when we get together.

When I lived in MO for 3 years I gained my best friends ever. I now live in PA/NY and I talk to them often. Its hard to get out there to visit because of gas and other things. If I could id go out as much as I can but I cant afford it. I plan to go there this may, only way im not is if I cant come up with a car or gas money. Right now its going good though so we shall see. I talk to them mostly online and text them too. I want to move back there but I cant which sucks.

yes i do, my best friend for 10 years, she was the best i could have asked for. we always talked, did stuff, i practically lived at her house rather than my own, but she moved away and it hurt. she came back to visit and we got to spend some time together, but i havent seen her in 4 years. but in place of her, i got another best friend, again inseperable, but this time i was forced to move by my parents 3 hours away, but we still talk every day, and i going to move back down there in a year, but i hate not being able to hang wit her like we used to, but she is my best friend, so i know how you feel.

I actually do. She lives halfway across the world, with no communication whatsoever. I have another one, though not as far, just enough for me not to be able to him. We talk on Msn normally, though never on the phone because of international payments. :P

Yes, and im sure there are many people in the same situation. But with my friend, we had been very close since our moms were still carrying us:) We were so close that sometimes we would do things that we will regret but later laugh about it. We had a friendship that i could say was close to perfect. He was the only one i could ever run to and tell my deepest secrets. He always listens and understands me even when i tend to sound so nonsence. Well now he when of to the military and we dont talk anymore,write or even e-mail eachother. Sometimes i tend to miss those times. Its been already 6 years:( I'v heard that his doing well but i cant get to find his number e-mail or anything. The only thing i know is that is in Maryland! But i hope he never forgets me and knows that he still is in my heart because its rare to find someone like him.
