“I dont wish her any bad, but I do wish her a friend just like her.
You know, the kind that ditches you at your lowest point.”
There’s nothing like an amazingbest friendor friend group to navigate life with.
Regardless, time will never change the impact a great friend can and will have on your entire life.
Here’s what they had to say:

“My best friend has been my best friend since forever!
Our moms were best friends in high school and beyond.
Her grandma lived with her parents and ran an in-home daycare in the basement.

“My best friend from junior high school and I remained close through life.
He was at my first wedding and my wedding to his sister.
Can you believe that shit?”
We found each other 32 years later through social media.
I invited her to Thanksgiving dinner the day before I was going to get married.”
“Thats when I found out that my soon-to-be husband was actually her ex-husband.
He still lived in a town that was 80 miles from where we grew up.
Somehow, we grew up and married the same man.
I always loved his ex-wife more than I loved him.
Thats probably why I am now his other ex-wife.
She no longer lives in the area, but we still keep in touch.”

“We met in high school, and I thought we were best friends.
We remained friends for 20 years.
She was the one who told me about my ex and one of our friends sleeping together.
Twenty years later, I had a massive mental breakdown and was put in the hospital.
It turns out it wasn’t the first time.”
“Cut to three years ago: Im 52ish and received a letter in the mail from her!

“One of my best friends Ive known since preschool, and we became best friends in fifth grade.
My other two best friends and I became friends in sixth grade.
Since graduating high school, the four of us have consistently remained the closest of friends.”
“I met my best friend in sixth grade, and we were inseparable through high school.
We drifted apart when we left for college me to Chicago, her to the northeast.
She died at 35 in a mid-air collision doing what she loved.
I miss you, Jolene.”

“I moved to a new town in fifth grade and immediately bonded with this other boy.
We were inseparable through middle school; we were all in the honors classes together.
Then, the week before ninth grade started, his dad took us hiking.
He slipped on a wet rock and broke his arm.
This made him ineligible for PE and got him put in shop class instead.”
“I had the same best friend from the time we were around 12 until around 25/26.
Our birthdays were six days apart, and we were each there when each other’s children were born.
We talked literally every single day; there were no secrets between us.
In our early 20s, we were both a bit self-destructive with some addictions that were super unhealthy.
“I was in a similar relationship and made the choice to leave.
She refused to get help and was upset that I had changed so much.
I visited her in the hospital, and I knew she was going to die.
She died on Mothers Day a few years ago.
Even though it was about five years before she died that we didnt speak, I still miss her.
There are a lot of times I want to text her, call her, or hug her.

“Im still friends with my best friend from middle school, 15 years later.
“My childhood friend disappeared just after the start of seventh grade.
Two weeks later, her body was found in a pile of rotting trash at an illegal dump site.
I had known her my entire childhood.
To this day, no one has ever been held accountable for her death.
It has haunted me for 35 years.”

Tina and I became inseparable, and we stayed in touch through the years.
Wed had some good and bad times and fought like sisters sometimes.
“My best friend and I met when I was 8 years old.
He remembered the first day I walked into class after moving from another state midway through the school year.
We were best friends for 35 years.
His parents were my second parents, and mine were his.
I am very happy with the life we shared with each other as friends, almost brothers.
He was always there for me, and I was there for him.
I miss him a lot and will never forget the person I became because of him.
There is a lot of truth in the saying that legends never die.
Hell never be forgotten for his gratitude and patience.”

“Shes married with kids.
After high school, we were roommates and coworkers.
We did everything together, and then my younger brother died suddenly.
She didnt ‘know how to deal with me’ and decided to break our lease and move out.
My grief was too big to fight for the friendship, and I havent spoken to her since.
She tried to stick me with all the final bills and turned most of our friend group against me.
I dont wish her any bad, but I do wish her a friend just like her.
You know, the kind that ditches you at your lowest point.”
“I still keep in contact with my childhood best friend every day.
We live together and have been best friends for going on 30 years!
We divorced our respective spouses and decided to move in together about a year ago LOL.
Yeah, aside from immediate family, shes been the only constant in my life.”
