True friendship lasts a lifetime. Who is your one true friend and what have you gone through together?

Question

I am referring to real friendship here, one that has stood the test of time.

Were there difficult times when you did not speak to your friend?

What brought you two back together?

In what way has the friendship helped or enriched your life?

Is there anything you would not do for this friend?

Answer 1

My best friend and I met when we were 19 years old. We have been through blizards, power outages that lasted 16 days, we met and married men from the same family. We have had falling outs where we didn't speak to each other for several months and then we just had to reach out and start talking again. We helped each other through child birth, and what turned out to be not so good marriages. If I go out without her I would always call her at 2 in the morning and sing to her.

I got divorced 4 years ago and she followed me by a year. We helped each other get set up on our own with our children and cried on each others shoulders. We talked every day (excluding those few months) for 16 years.

She died in a car accident February 8, 2005. My life was changed forever. I arranged her funeral and spoke there. I told them that I had lost not just a friend, but my true soul mate. The one person who would always be on my side even when I am wrong. I would have done anything for her.

I got a tattoo on my shoulder of angel wings and a halo - that way I can take her with me wherever I go.

Answer 2

My one true friendship that has lasted a lifetime is with one one best friend. I first met him when I was one and he was three. We went through the whole moving away from one another for nearly 10 years but then we bacame best of friends again and a friendship blossumed into a relationship when I was 15 and he was 17. The hardest thing our friendship went through was finding out that my mum and his dad had an affair together when we were little kids and questioning my paternity (who was my father - which it proved his dad wasn't). This was the one time we stopped speaking because either us didnt know what to think at the time and we were in the whole friendship / relationship phase and it was to hard to deal with but what brought us back together was the realisation that it wasn't our fault and that we needed each other to work past this. It has enriched my life because i found out what a true friendship means and how it can withstand all lifes challenges and there isnt anything in this world i would not do for him. If he needed me for anything I would be there in a heart beat. Even though I have not seen him in almost eight years because distance seperates us he is my one true friend and I always turn to him in a time of need and he is always there for me. For the record I love this guy to peices and I tell him every time I talk to him.

Answer 3

My best friend and I have been friends since we were 14 and in the 9th grade,we are both now 47.We have been through just about everything together,good and bad.Marriages,divorces,child custody,a near death accident,domestic violence.lots of fun times,vacations and just general craziness.There is nothing I wouldn't do for her and her for me.Although we now live a few thousand miles apart,we still have a very close connection.All we have to do is pick up the phone or send an email and the closeness is there instantly.All my best memories,she is there.The crazy stuff that we did in high school,the way we always hated each others boyfriends because we just knew they weren't good enough for our friend,the little disagreements that were about stupid stuff.I have a few other friends that I consider to be close friends,but none like her.I feel bad for those people who don't have a one lifelong friend,there is nothing better in life.She could blackmail me with the things she knows about me that no one else does.People sometimes can't understand a close relationship between two women and always think there has to be "something else" going on,sad.

Answer 4

My best friend Sue and I have been friends 30plus years, since we were 7 & 6, our grandmothers lived on the same street. I don't have enough time to tell what we've been through. She supported me during my divorce ( I have 1 child from that union & he's 13 1/2 yrs.) We were there for each other when grandparents passed away, her father passed on, and both of my step parents' deaths. I was there when she had a tumor removed from her spinal cord that has caused her to drag her left leg some, pushed her around doing wheelies on a wheel chair during her rehab, and the birth of her 8 children. She still lives in Philadelphia, I live at the Jersey Shore near Stone Harbor, we get together frequently in summer when she comes to her mother's vacation home and when I visit my sister in the city I always take time to stop and say Hi. Sometimes during the school year we don't talk as much, due to my work and all the kids school schedules, but, all it takes is a phone call and updates and we're back on track.. Life would be boring without my friend Sue.

Answer 5

My one true friend would have to be my BEST FRIEND. We've been through everything together. (Well were still Pre-Teens so we've done just about all the stuff Pre-Teens go through)

Yes there were difficult times when we didn't speak to eachother because of our siblings and fighting over hair colour. Also this other girl who used to be her BFFL put us into difficult positions.

What brought us back together was saying sorry and that I wouldn't do it again. And that really rude girl moved away! What are the chances/odds?

This friendship helped my life because in Grade 2 everyone made fun of me and nobody wanted to play with me. So in Grade 3 she saw me sitting on the school stairs just doing nothing and she came over and played with me. We've been best friends ever since. Now were in Grade 7 and we are still BFFLs!

No. There is nothing I wouldn't do for this friend because she helped me! She is my friend and only TRUE friends help eachother out!

Well,I have a real, true friend.Its my best friend.We have the same name and we often wear the same.We are the only people in my class whose paremts are strict.we like the same people and we hate the same.its strange because we are exactly the same.we are interested in the same things we hear the same music etc.I'm very happy to have her,I never wanna lose her.we have never argued but we often swear on each other.i ve learned that you shouldnt trust everyone in your life.maybe sometimes u feel lonely but its normal.the day will come and u'll find a real friend who will always be there for u.i wouldn do EVERYTHING for her.because i love her,i do!

then,there is another case.In the camp i found a friend.She is not my best friend and i see her very seldom because she lives far away but i love her and i feel that she is a true friend.in the camp,there were some days we didnt talk but this fact made our friendship even stronger.now i miss her very much.she is always there for me.in the camp,when i was sad and down she always noticeds it and asked me "hey,what do u have?tell me.i know that u are sad cause your eyes are red.have u argued with someone?have u argued with me?oh you dont love me anymore?i wont leave you till u tell me what is the reason you are sad"and stuff like that and now when i have a problem i send her SMS and she helps me.ITS GREATFUL!we write letters.For her i would also do everything.I dont wanna lose them.

ITS the best thing to have real,true friends...

Answer 7

My friend is Sailaja right from our childhood we were best friends, when i could not able to pay the Fee our head master called me and gave me a warning that i should not come to the call form to marrow then the other day she brought money for me and paid the fee as i was not aware of it. Then when i brought a letter from my dad saying that it take more 2 days to pay the fee so he was asking me to allow me for the classes then our head master said that my friend had already paid.
That was my first time i spoke with her and we became best friends. And its sad to say that during my 10th standard she died in a ROAD ACCIDENT, i cried like anything i miss her alot.
And from that day iam maintaining a diary and thing the diary as her and write everything in it.

Do you know she is still in my HEART i will not forget her and till now i did not find a girl.

Answer 8

Other than my husband...I have a friend that is my "closer than a sister" friend. We met in the 5th grand when we were 10 years old. Through the years we have grown together....helped each other through some really tough times. There isn't anything she couldn't ask that I wouldn't do for her. My oldest child was born on her birthday. Actually our birthdays are only 4 days apart..born the same year. We both have three kids..and even though we aren't blood related...my kids know her as their aunt as well as hers do me.
There have been times when we would move to another town...but always seemed to either find a way to move to the same city...or move back. Our husbands know, there is a special bond between us and would never try to come between that. I remember one time...she was having problems with her husband..and he got mad because I stopped him from hurting her (he has changed now, its been 17 years)..but he told her he didn't want me back in their house. Her comment to him was...she was here long before you...and she will be long after you. God the things we have been through...but its all been worth it. We are now 42 years old...and 32 years later I love her more now that I ever thought I could love a friend. Our kids base their friendships on ours...trust, honesty, loyalty.

Answer 9

I've known my best friend since 6th grade, when she moved to my school. We were best friends until college, but we got into a trivial fight and stopped talking. Last Christmas, her 21 year old sister was killed when she was walking across the street, and was hit by a car. I was devestated when I found out, and I rushed to be with her. We both realized that life is too short for trival fights. It brought us back together, and we keep in touch even though we are both at different colleges.
