NBR: How long have you known your longest friend?

I was on FB chatting with my friend and I realized I have 2 friends that I have known for 30 years.  One is my best friend and we have been though a lot together and the other was my best friend growing up and we have reconnected after having a touch and go friendship all these years.  It is so awesome to think I've known these ladies so long!

    Of my friends that I continuously talk to, I'd say about 20 years.  I also have a friend I re-connected with once we moved back to Sacramento and I've known her since about 7th grade (so that would be about 26--27 years had we stayed in contact the whole time).

     

    Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

    My oldest friend i've known for 23 years. We aren't as close as we used to be (best friend in grade school) but we still talk a few times a year.

    I've known Carlos now for 16 years. and even though he gets on my last nerve, he is one of the few non-family people i can count on to always  be there for me.

    My oldest friend was my first BFF. We've known each other 24 years now. We still keep in contact, although she and her family moved away 19 years ago, and while we've kept in touch, we aren't as close anymore.

    My current BFF is my second oldest friend. We've known each other 21 years now.

    I have two people i'd consider my "bffs" and they both come from 2 totally different circles of friends, and actually (this is funny) they don't really like each other.  They both represent completely different sides of my personality!

    I met them both when I was in 7th grade- one I sang with, she now lives in Baltimore, I see her as often as I can.  The other was from school and is still local.  I see her often.

    The other person I'd consider as a long time best friend is mycollege roomate- we have known each other for 14 years?  But we had kids at the same time, got married at the same time, went through a lot if stuff together.  She lives in Cleveland but we talk a lot and see each other when we can.

    Interesting question!

    Th longest known friend is 32 years, my age.  We met through my mom and her mom being friends - we still talk, but not best friends anymore.  I just saw her last month and she was with me the night before my mom died in the hospital visiting with her.

    One friend that I had recently caught back up with I've known pretty much my whole life (so 30 years). We don't keep in touch that often but I've known her a long time. The other one that I still talk to a lot is a friend from grade school so about 23 years.

    My oldest, closest and probably my bff right after the hubs I've known for 17 years. We met when I was a sophomore in high school. I had transferred from an all girls private catholic school to a public co-ed high school.

    I've known my best friend (Cheekygirl on the nor-cal board) for about 14 years.  My cousin who I am super close with I've also known 14 years.  She lived in SD and when I was about 13 I'd go down there for a week and then she'd come here for a week.  My newer best friend I've known for 2 years.  All are like sisters too me.

    I have 2 best friends (they are twins) that I have know for 24 years.

    I have a friend that I have known all my life, well...since she was adopted at 5 (I was 4). She & I don't talk all the time and will go for years between talking but the connection is always there :)

    Life is a roller coaster, enjoy it!
