Until now, most of my closest friends are from grade school. I've been with one of my best friends since kindergarten. Two of them I keep in touch with all the time as we're somewhat in the same area. Those that are in different countries, we keep in touch now and then. But I am sure that when we get together again, it'll feel like old times again.

this is my first time to paricipate in discussion.i have lots of friends,most of them are my childhood friends.because when i was a little boy, we have been playing,learning all the time,and we combined tight toghter by our great peer friendship.now,we often give the others a ring.but we don't have enough time to visit friends.we are in different cities.maybe friends are the most important part of my life,so i love my friends,and forever. there are still some problems about my english,but i'm getting better everyday.if there's some mistake in my words,please point it out to me.i really appreciate it.

Friends do complete us, it is them who had been with us through our struggles in life. My best friend in high school is getting married now and she wants my son to be her ring bearer. isn't that nice?

Sad that i don't know where my childhood friends now... since all of us got our family and settled somewhere else, we lost our contacts. Hope we could meet again.

Oh yes my dear. I still know them so vividly but unlike you we do not communicate anymore. Sometimes when I chance upon any of them that is the only time we could say hi and hello but I don't have that close relationship with them anymore. I don't know why? Maybe because we never had the chance to see each other more often. I have already created my own world which is quite different from them. What I mean is that I am in a corporate world while most of my childhood friends are stay home moms and they don't live close to my home. While the others are in different fields and we have lost contact already. But the good memories stays and still worth reminiscing.

good for you that you still meet yoru friends wayback. As for me? no, wll yeah sometimes.I still live in the same place where I studied elementary and so on, so I get to see my old school mates and friends, but we seldom talk or hang out with each other. Most of them are married now and that some don't remember me anymore. I have old friends from high school like 2 of them, we still drop by each other's house and support each other all through out. Friends are really important but then friends do come and go.

I still know my childhood friend. I still maintain the same kind of friendship when I used to maintain during my school days with my childhood friend. He is a doctor now, and I still chat with him every time I get time. I am happy i have such a very nice and trust worthy friend.

Yeah. If we get married maybe we will move out the community to the new apartment, but I think we will still in the same city, we can have dinner and party with our wives or girlfriends sometime, and I don't think the distance will be a problem for us hanging out together.

My friend and I, well I don't know how things are now because it seems like we are growing apart. I just got married a few months ago and moved away from my hometown. But we known each other since we were 5 yrs old and we are now 26. We always did everything together and even went to the same middle school and highschool. We were even friends after highschool. There was another friend that I had grew up with as well, but after highschool graduation our friendship fell apart.

It also happened to me, the falling apart stage, but after a while we were connected again, in fact, my friend's wedding is just around the bend and my son is included in her entourage

yes i do... i've been friends with at least half of the people i know today since i was in grade school. i visit as often as i can make a flight or have them come to me. we talk at least 2 or 3 times a week. sometimes life gets in the way but we can go weeks maybe even months without talking and pick up right where we left off without any problems.

well, (thinking..)... i still recognize them whenever there were chances of acquaintances. I still remember their face but yet difficult to mention their names. I once have attend a gathering of old classmates from high school, there is this one guy approached me but then I can't even remember his face neither his name..after the event and I am so curious about it so I ask someone, I was surprised that he was a she before...and what more? she's my best friend..so I realized that whatever think I have to do I can't figure it out..it turned out that my old classmate had a plastic surgeon and I don't know if she has gone through a transplant. Even though she's close to me before I can't ask why...
