I get to see my friend this weekend

Well, friendships have to last despite long distances. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have friends, since all of my closest friends are elsewhere. Of course, I have tried to recruit my two closest friends to move to where I'm at. Unfortunately, I haven't been successful on that front... yet. Give me time... I haven't seen my two closest friends in a while. One I saw a couple years ago. The other... I think it's been about four years or so, and that was a fairly brief visit.

It's amazing that you have been friends for so many years. So many people lose touch with their friends after just a little while or just grow apart.

I hope you and your friend had a wonderful time together, and got caught up on some of the things from your past as well. I know that when I was recently in IL and got to spend some time at lunch with my Best friend from High School it was an awesome experience and well worth the 7 yr. wait that it had been. It would have been nice to even have spent more time, but we all lead so busy lives, and I knew I had to come back home.

I have only one friend left from school years and we e-mail but I have not seen her in many years. Hubby, however has many friends from those years and even though he hasn't seen them he talks to them often. He went to a very small school and has been able to stay in touch with school mates. In these later years of life they all seem to enjoy each other.

hi dear dorannmwin hope you had a wonderful weekend with your old friend and you were able to just pick things up where you left when you had to part ways back then. I have two friends like this, they are both in my hometown area, which is an 3,5 to 4 hour drive from where I live now. Had not seen them since getting married in September 2005 and last year I had the possibility to get together with them for a nice evening. It was so good to catch up with each others lives though we keep in touch via phone or letters.

You're so lucky that despite the distance and the years in between, you and your best friend maintained your friendship. I can't say the same for us. Unfortunately, our foursome was torn by money matters. One best friend borrowed money from one of us and just forgot about it. That friend warned us two about that with good intentions of course and when she went to us, we did try our best to help her out with a reminder that she needs to settle her debt with our other friend. She took it badly against us all and things were never the same again. We have been friends for 12 years and even if we are separated by thousands of miles we still see each other and carry on as if we were just sitting in the same classes yesterday. Sadly, we started to fall out just 2 years ago. So yes, I believe that distance and time is no problem at all for true friends. Other stuff do. Like in my case, money.

It has been a really long time since I seen my best friend. Have a real good time.

Since April and like you this weekend I am going up to see her.....for five days......five wonderful days of catching up and stamping together...shopping and eating our favorite foods....and usually we throw in a movie too! And our friendship has lasted 27 years, have fun with your friend this weekend!

That's neat you will be reunited with your best friend from childhood! Wow - she's got a lot of kids! Enjoy your time together this weekend! Me - rather than best friend - I'd have to say "close" friend when it comes to female friends. The last time I saw my close friend was early May. She and her husband bought a house earlier in the year - and they had a housewarming party - so we went. We hardly ever get to see each other because we can never coordinate a good time to meet - she's always working (she's a total workaholic - well, she doesn't have kids nor intends to, so she doesn't mind working a lot). And her work and home location are kind of far (relatively speaking - it's not real long distance, but it's inconvenient to get to each other). We met each other through figure skating . . . and we used to go to coffee afterwards and chat for hours at night. She was my maiden of honor. We both don't skate as much these days . . . but that's the core of what got us together . . . but when we do get together it's a coffee and chat get together like old times. I find that certain friendships can last even though long distances come between us . . . especially these days with emailing, Facebook, or even Skype/webcam - communicating is always possible and fairly easy.

There is certain reason that we could not be together in our life, particularly for friend. Different age phase would be having different kind friend. I have one best friend in my colleague. It is the unforgettable time we have ever had. After graduation, I leave to another city for work reason. We also find time to meet other other, maybe once in a year. But sometimes I just feel that the relationship is not as intimate as in campus. The life circle is totally different after graduation.

I know how it feels to see an old friend. I remember when I had announced to my friends and family that I was getting married my best friend had looked up online and found my mother on facebook. She had asked for my phone number so she could congratulate on my upcoming marriage. The thing I did not know was that she was coming to my wedding. My mother and Randy's cousin had picked my friend and my friend's mom and sister and brought them to the resturant we were eating at. It was a great reunion. I started to cry because I was so happy to see them all. we still keep in touch and hopefully next year we will be able to see her.

Hi friend.I'm going to meet my friend on this weekend also.It's so cool and excited that your friendship didn't gone though with long distance.For me,that's real and true friend is.Just cherish it coz not all people can get that.Have a nice weekend ahead.

Hello dorannmwin, That's great! I would just talk to him/her if i meet him/her after long time and try to know and tell everything happened in all those years when we were not together.I would go to the place where we used to be together and meet some common old friends.

i also have a best friend who has been my best friend since the highschool. we were the deskmate and the funny thing is that i dislikeed her on my first sight on her. she was a good student but she didn't concentrate on study at most her time. she liked to talk with classmate even in the study room. thus i dislike her . but as we got to know each other well , i found her is a really good girl . we shared all our secrets with each other. but when we got to the different university in the different city , we did not contact with each other much. and it seemed like that we were away from each other's life and we are not close now. sometimes i missed her so much , and i wanted to talk to her and tell her how much i miss her. but when i called, i did not know what to say. it's really awlful.
