I have been blessed with some really wonderful friends in my life so far, and I was just wondering if others here would like to share their stories/memories of their best friends. My currest best friend is someone who I met online back in 1999, and we still talk online nearly every single day. I don't know what I would do without her. She's been there with me through thick and thin for nearly eight years, and we've learned a lot from each other, and grown as people. Who is your best friend? What is a great memory of friendship that you would like to share?

About 5 years ago we met a friend online. We talk to her nearly everyday too. She lives in Holland and we are in the USA. In September, she and her husband came to visit us and we went to Niagara Falls together. It was a lovely time. We still talk everyday online using Skype. It is a program that allows voice chat.

Ooh, Niagra Falls! That must have been such a lovely, fun vacation. And to get to spend it with a dear friend that you had met online five years earlier, is even more wonderful. I am glad that you met such a sweet person online who lives so far away, yet you were able to meet up with them in person. I can't imagine making a friend from across the globe and actually getting to meet them one day. That would be such a fun experience! ^_^ I haven't yet heard of Skype. Maybe I should look into it. I really prefer email to online chatting programs, anyway, but i'm always intersted to check out things that are new to me, especially in the way of technology and the internet! ^_^

Danieler, it is really truly wonderful when we are in need and a friend comes to our aid. One thing that can bond us really closely with a friend is sharing times of hardship, along with times of joy. I am so glad that your friend was there for you to help you out of the bad situation that you were in! That is wonderful to hear.

My husband is my best friend. We have known each other since I was 11 years old. We went to school together and celebrated holiday together as well. We have always had this bond. He listens to my problems and my happy news, he carries me through the hard times and he never judges me although he knows my darkest secrets. I would have to say my husband is my very best friend.

Oh, Sunshinecup, that is _exactly_ what I wish for when I find the true love of my life. Someone who is just not my husband, but is also my best and closest friend. Someone who, like for you, will love to listen and share everything in life with me, and will wake every day wanting to make me as happy as i want to make him. It sounds like you have exactly what I have been aching for my entire life. I am so incredibly happy for you and your husband! You truly have a loving, strong bond that I know will last the rest of your lives! ^_^

You know what? I have friends that have been my friends since age of 5. I have frineds who I have only been frineds with for about 10 years and then there is my very BEST Friend. My Best friend is my husband. I love him very much and when I get sick, he is who I want to be there. When I have a bad day, he is who I want to be there. When I have a good day, it is not a true good day till I share it with him. He makes me complete in all ways. My best friend is my husband. He has been there through the bad times and the good. We have been married for 28 plus years but we have been frineds longer than that. Every good memory that I have in the past 28 years have been as a result of his love.

I have my Friend of 20 years, but at the moment she has fallen out with me because I have moved away so her Husband and her are not talking to me. It hurts bad, but it is my Life and the Air is better for my Illness down here. Also my Love is down here, so I am afraid they will just have to get used to it or ignore me till they come round to the Idea. I love them to bits, but they have to let me live my Life the way I want to, they knew I was eventually moving away. They have each other, so why can't I be close to the one that I love? It really hurts and I did cry last night, but I will have to see if they calm down.

My best friend from college, Terri, and I now live 3 hours away from each other but it's like we live next door. I do often wish we were closer just for the every day stuff like dropping in and sitting and gossiping and having a cup of .. well in our case diet pepsi! LOL We met the day were were moving into our dorms. August 1981. I fell UP the stairs with a glass measuring cup that gouged my hand. She heard it and came, with another girl that was getting her stuff moved in. Terri and Trisha (later we called her Tricher) helped me get over to the nurses area and cleaned up. From then on it was a great friendship. Unfortunately Tricher moved back to Mass. where she was from but Terri & I living closer, have been able to maintain a closeness. I'm her only daughter's god mother. She and I visit at least 3 times a year, usually more. We email, phone and of course send notes via the mail.

every people has good and bad friends. the good friend has any problem coimg to me then who is helping me, he/she is good friend. don't share every thing to your friend. everything you share to ftriends means distroy your life. to speach with any one to a limited word

I too have had some friends who were pretty good at computers, because I was online back in the day when the only way that you could get online is to call up local bulletin board systems. Back then, everyone who was online was pretty much a bit of a computer geek, which was fun! *laugh* ANyway, your friend sounds like a very nice person. I'm glad that you met them when you were working in that call centre.

My best friend now is a guy that started out as a friend about 10 years ago, we ended up having a brief (very brief) intimate relationship that we both knew wouldn't work out, and we remained friends. The friendship has grown and solidified over the years, and there is nothing that we wouldn't do for each other. We can talk about anything, including relationships with other men/women. He is always there for me, no matter what. And I do the same for him. I feel that he knows me better than I know myself sometimes. He can anticipate my reactions and feelings and always knows when I'm needing some company or a hug. He's also a lot of fun to hang out with. We get together often to go out to eat or to watch movies at either of our homes. It does get tricky with other relationships, though. His girlfriends and my boyfriends will always have to be able to trust that this is a platonic relationship and accept it. I haven't had any real trouble with this, though. Once they get to know him and see us together, it's obvious that we're like "buddies" and that there is no intimate relationship involved.

my best friend and i were opposite in some ways, like she likes dancing mine i like more on singing and some little ways. wierd huh? but we were best of friends almost 12 years now and our friendship grows stronger as each years pass. she will be there when im in my deepest time same as i did to her. although we havent seen each other everyday recently but we see to it that we texted or call each other every now and then just to say hi and have a little talk about each life. except my sisters she is the one i can trusted to with everything in me, i can be who i am when im with her. we were enjoying each others company. before we planned to get married together or if not just by being a maid of honor who ever gets married first. although until now were still single but were in good relationship with our bf.

Sharing the story with our friends is a great one.It is mostly good one,When it will become bad is the story is wrong one.If we tell the story to the friends,they will give their opinion.If the story is truth we will get the good response from our friends.I know everbody like the story in the world,also they are telling their story to their friends.So its not a bad one

I have a few friends that I've known for at least fifteen years plus and I feel very blessed as well. Two of my best friends are sisters and we known each other since high school. Which was actually twenty years ago. We talk all the time and I can safely say that I feel as though they are my sisters. When I was kicked out of my house as a senior in high shcool their family took me in without thinking about it first. We too have been through a lot together and I am glad we will have eachother to grow old with!

i really want to be with my friends, especially with my best friend. we hang out together every single day. we always help each other. the best thing about our friendship is that we understand each other and we always forgive each other for our mistakes. everyday with my best friend is the greatest memory of friendship i had and will have forever! =D
