I was an only child and had a new best friend every school year or so. Thankfully now my sister-in-law, although 10 years younger, is my best girlfriend. We don’t talk everyday (she lives about 4 hours away), but whenever one of us needs girlfriend therapy so to speak,

Kristen-
I don’t think you are alone. Dave and my mom are the people I go to first. Other wonderful people in my life, present company included , I call on depending upon the situation. Time and distance are the two biggest culprits! You know you can count on me sweetie!

My best friend is one that I met the very first day at college. I basically attacked her with my overly-happy, “HI! I’m BECCA! WHAT’S YOUR NAME?!?!?!” Five years later we are still the best of friends. She understands me, and I don’t know why, but she makes me laugh like no one else in the world. We have what we like to call “humor snowballs” where one tiny little thing because this enormous mess of humor. Don’t you love someone who can make you feel silly? Love this post. Thanks for sharing.

I love this post Kristen! I’m so thankful for a few close friends I can call up and chat just about anything with. I always wanted a sister best friend when i was little. I was an only child and had a new best friend every school year or so. Thankfully now my sister-in-law, although 10 years younger, is my best girlfriend. We don’t talk everyday (she lives about 4 hours away), but whenever one of us needs girlfriend therapy so to speak, we’re always there for each other, and since we’ve known each other for so long, we can be completely honest and hide nothing.

I totally understand what you mean! I moved when I was ten and struggled to find where I fit in, which meant it took me awhile to make good friends. Then I went to University and made the BEST friends! Unfortunately, we all went our seperate ways after school finished, and it is SO much harder to make friends as an adult. I’ve been pretty unsuccessful at it. And not very good at keeping in touch with my school friends. I definitely feel the void.

I’m glad your kids have best friends. It is definitely a special relationship!

This was such a sweet post. Growing up, my best friend lived 5 houses down from me and we we’re inseparable. Since we spent so much time together we even began to talk alike. Neither one of us could properly pronounce the “R” sound:) During our elementary school years, we got taken out of class and were put into speech therapy together…which was pretty much the best thing ever, it was just like more playtime with my favorite person. After having a falling out that grew into 2 years of very limited talking, we’ve managed to accept that each of us has changed slightly. Our relationship is different now, but regardless, she’s still my best friend.

Thanks for the post. It reminded me how truly special having a best friend is:)

Great post!! I adore reading about, talking about, and writing about friendship. I truly think it’s the stuff that makes the world go ’round.

I literally can’t thank the universe enough for the friends I am so fortunate to have. I have friends from when I was 3, 13, 17, 23, 30, etc. etc. I think we build a huge and tight family of our choosing from the friends we make along the way in life.

I’ve used my BFF friendship material as inspiration for a blog post more than once. There is a group of four of us who have been so close for so long, I can’t recall a time when they weren’t in my life.

One of my earliest blog posts was written for one of my BFFs on a rough day in her life: http://www.lifeaccordingtosteph.com/2011/08/luke-loves-laura-and-so-do-i.html

And two of my other BFFs both have a birthday in the first week of June. I was overcome with the love for friends that week: http://www.lifeaccordingtosteph.com/2012/06/my-two-kims.html

Aw…great post! My BFF and I have been ‘soulmates’ since we were 15 years old. Now we’re 34/35. She’s lived in Dubai for almost 5 years now and comes home to visit each summer for several weeks. When she plans her trip home, we always commit to weekly dinners at the place where she and her family stay. We meet every week to drink wine, eat fabulous food, read stories to her kids and pick up right where we left off. We laugh, talk about how our husbands drive us nuts and just cherish every minute we have together. She and her family just returned to Dubai a couple of weeks ago and I miss her like crazy. She’s family and I love her dearly no matter how far apart in distance we may be.
