I lived in New Hampshire for 4 years. I made a few friends but one very best friend. I moved back to Connecticut. We talk on and off from time to time. We call each other probably once a week. We both have very busy lives. She has her 2 boys and I have my 3 girls and stepson. We are always keeping up to date with what's going on and keeping each other updated on our families. She is my best friend and would do anything for her. I hate the fact that I moved 300 miles away from her. My kids are always asking when are we going to New Hampshire, I miss my friends. It's so heartbreaking to hear that and not be able to do anything about it. We're hoping by next Febuary we can move back there. Would you still consider somebody a friend if you or they moved hundreds of miles away? What if you only talked a few times a month when you used to hang out every day all day long? Would you still consider them your best friend if they werent at your side every day like before? All my answers to those are all yes. I love her very much and I will always be here for her if she ever needs me. I may not see her as often any more (maybe once every 5 months) but if she ever called and said I need you NOW I would in a heart beat find a way back up there to be by her side. Do any of you feel this way about your best friend?

Distance, caste, gender or religion is never a barrier in friendship, if i were in your place, i will always consider her as friend, we may not be able to communicate for days for various reasons, might be due to things beyond our control..
I have friends around the globe, i chat, email, but at times there is no reply, they are still my friends..
Thank you so much for this post.

of course i will... true friend can never be separated even through long distances... i can even say that through this, the relationship can become stronger as it had passed the test of place and time... i'm so glad to hear that you still keep in touch with her and be such a good friend even though both of you are far apart now... take care and have a nice day...

You are a very sweet friend.
Your girlfriend is lucky to have a friend in you.
Like you, the answer would be yes. I also have friends mile apart from me but still they are my friends. We hardly talk nor I hardly barge in there FB wall but they are still my friends. We do remember each other when one of us is celebrating a special occasion like birthdays or anniversary.
Though, we don't really see each other physically but I'll always be with them in prayers and in spirit.:)

Definitely Yes!!! Friendship is not about living together or living nearby. It does not matter that you live miles away from each other. I live 3000 miles away from my hometown, so all my good friends are 3000 miles away. And one of my best friends happens to be living in North Carolina. Last time I saw her was 5 years ago and no telling when I will see her again. I still consider her one of my best friends. I tell her everything that is troubling me and she shared her problem with me as well.
Sometimes you just need to unburden yourself on someone; someone who would not judge you or think you are being ridiculous, someone who understands how you feel. And that is exactly what a friend should be. I may not be able to do much for my friend or she for me, that does not mean that we stopped being friends. And yeah, the most precious thing, we share our problems and sometimes most of the little problems just go away by being able to share with someone.
Yes, I do wish we live nearby, or live in the same country for that matter.

I would. I have a best friend, who even though lives very near me, we don't talk much. She has lots of other friends and is always busy with one or the other. Because of that sometimes I get sad, but in the end, I think of her my very best friend and would do anything for her. I'm pretty sure she considers me one of her best friends too, since she still comes to hang out with me, and tells me about things she doesn't tell anybody else. So do I, and she keeps my secrets well if I ask her to. So she is my very best friend, and if she moved hundreds of miles away, I would love her the same. And if she ever needed me, I would definitely fly over no matter what.

Yes, I would consider her to still be my friend, very much so. It isn't about distance, it's about how well you connect with each other. My best friend lives an hour away, which means we don't get to see each other that much. We email and Facebook and text and phone though and even though she doesn't live in the same town that I do, I still consider her my best friend.
It's not about distance at all, it's about the connection you both have with each other.

Definitely friendship doesn't die or fade away just because you move away from each other. Friendship lives in our heart and somehow we always maintain a piece for our close friends and/or best friends. Eventhough it is difficult to be able to communicate and express your feelings a friend always knows you care about them. Fortunately for me all my friends leave considerably close to me, so I have never been in that situation.

being far from each other is not a reason to think that you can't be friends anymore, since you still remember her and love her til now, your friendship is still remarkable. i really like your friendship,, and i would have a friendship like yours, having someone to turn to anytime and be at your side when you need him/her.. that is a friend,, always there and loves you despite your mistakes and failures,,
