Life can interfer with the closest friendships. Doesn't make them any less valuable though. If you still feel that she's the one that you can tell anything to, and that she would listen to your problems on the phone, if you were having an emotional breakdown, then she's still your best friend.
If you would still drop everything and listen to her, if she needed a shoulder to cry on, then you're still her best friend.
Time & distance may make things hard, but it's really up to you both.

I was bestfriends with someone for 10 years and then moved countries. We still keep in touch and call each other bestfriends, but the thing is we aren't BESTfriends, but we are still pretty good friends. I think we say we are bestfriends so that we don't feel like we are losing our friendship.
All you can do is keep in touch and if you can go visit her or if you can meet somewhere in between where you live, then do that. Email each other, IM each other, and call each other on a regular basis. Thats what i do with my friend, so we are still good friends and we are keeping our friendship together and aren't losing it

It really doesn't matter how far away you live from a true friend, they will always be your friend if that's what they were to begin with.. True Friendship is a blessing.. If this is the real thing ., treasure it ,, hold it dear.. Just keep in touch, call , write , email , send a little gift or card every now and then ,, the American Greetings Cards by email are excellent.. If your friendship was meant to last ,it will !!!
I just wish your friend could see how hard your trying to keep this friendship alive and well
Great Question
Good Luck
Merry Christmas

It's hard to be close when you don't spend time together and that is normal. Just continue to try to keep in contact and always call yourselves best friends because you still are, even though the circumstances have made it harder to stay close. If you have shared a friendship for that long it has made an impact on your life and regardless-you will always cherish the times that you could spend together. Other frienships will never be quite like that and you will both know that and even if you can't keep in touch you'll always be best friends.

First of all, best friends is 2 words. OK....You can have a best friend who lives hours, states countries away. Just keep in touch be phone, letters, e-mails, etc. Visit when you can. My best friend (since 1955) and I don't see each other as much as we would like, but it hasn't changed how we feel about each other. People get caught up in life and it can't aways be helped, but best friends can pick up where they left off with just a phone call. Keep her in your thoughts and let her know it. Your friendship will last if you want it to. Good luck. Life long friends are a treasure.

Call and see if one of you guys have a time off. If you both do on the same day go out to dinner and discuss your relashionship with each other. But I wish you guys the best.

My best friend and I are still best friends although she had to move 700 miles away. We keep in touch by phone and e-mail. Whenever either of us goes through life changing events, the other is there. No number of miles can separate us.

Well, all good things must come to an end. Just appreciate what you guys had in the past, and move on. It's not like you guys hate each other.....people just out grow one another.
