Yes and I am fortunate in this matter, because my childhood friend is very loving, he always takes care of me and let me be happy everytime. He also helped in difficult events and I love him very much.
regards

Yes I have a few of my childhood friends still around me. They are keeping in touch with me though some of them are staying far away in other states and countries.

For me, friends are the family you get to choose. Although, I did like what one of my friends said once about friendship, "Friends are God's way of apologizing for family."
As a result, I generally make every effort possible to keep in touch with any friend who has proven themselves loyal, or kind, or just generally good.
My best female friend has actually been my friend since around eighth grade. We've survived some pretty harsh situations together, and our friendship has only gotten stronger. Even when she moved out to Nevada, and years later I moved to Texas for a few years, we've always ended up just seeming to get closer as the years pass, though we spend less time with eachother then we once did, due to us both having families with small children and things that need to get done. Gas prices being ridiculous doesn't help in our endeavor to hang out once in a while either.
She isn't my oldest friend, though she has been the most consistent friend I've had, and my most trusted confidant, for the last decade or so. I have a couple other friends, also from around eighth grade who've been with me a few months longer, and we still talk, even if we dropped out of touch with one another for a couple years in the middle of it all.
Two of my friends, also a decade or more into the friendships, live in Pennsylvania and have for the last few years. We still keep in touch, quite often actually, though they live very far from me in California, and I haven't seen either of them in over two years. So, it's not impossible to maintain close friendships at a distance. It just takes some effort, but if you're determined to keep your friendships alive, that isn't too much of an issue.

I've moved around a lot and I've had a lot of friends but I still have my best friend I meet in 4th grade. We've been friends now for like 9 years.

I still have my childhood friend for the last 35 years. She is my ex neighbour and we used to play games together when we were 10 years old. I always visit her,witnessed her marriage and watched her becoming the mother of four children. She helped me the most when I was down and never denied financial assitance. When it was time to deliver my son, she drove me to hospital. She still continue to give me financial assistance and I thank God every day for giving me a great childhood friend.
