    Like many people, I guess, I married my best friend. He’s the only person in the world who really gets me, and the only one who can put me in my place when necessary! Almost 20 years ago, we walked out of the church on our wedding day to Queen’s ‘You’re My Best Friend’ and he still is. Great release, and thanks for the opportunity!

Infact I was friends with her older Sister.

They both live 2000 miles away from where I live now, but cards and telephone calls help keep us in touch weekly. These two friends and I have a foundation that is rock solid. They are my best friends because we have experienced all of life’s ups and downs together and are always “here” for each other.

    God has brought many friends along my path and it is difficult to pick who my “best friend” is! However I have a good friend of about 19 years who lives in the town we moved away from 7 years ago. We still catch up a few times a year and facebook, phone and email help us keep in touch. She was a scrapbooker before I was and we enjoy card making, netball and have many similar interests. She has been a great help to me during some tough times and was there for the birth of our third child when my husband was very sick as he could not be a physical/practical support he had been let out of (a different) hospital himself for the day!

    I know that I should pick my husband, but I’ve had my best friend even longer than I’ve had him. She and I have been on different paths our entire adult lives. When I was focused on career, she was having babies. When I had my children and decided to stay home, she was taking college courses. She is now in a high-powered job – lots of travel and she meets amazing people. I’m struggling to complete a second college degree to even get a job. Yet we always connect. We can always talk freely and get great advice. And she ALWAYS remembers the moments in my life.

If a best friend is somebody who knows you better than you know yourself…who loves you ABSOLUTELY unconditionally…and who would give His very life for you…then I would have to say my best friend is Jesus, without a doubt. I can honestly say that He has never left my side. I can’t say that about any mortal friend. πŸ™‚

    Like in many married woman’s case, my best friend is my husband. He understands me, often know what I want when I don’t even know… and he is the one who puts me in my place when needed. Sometimes we all need a little reminder of what to do and how to do it right… he also accepts me for who and how I am. My second best friend would be my childhood friend. We grew up together and have known each other since we were born! We only see each other once a year now, but when we do, we can talk freely to each other without reservations.

    i have 2 best friends…Randi–who is my crafting buddy and also soul sister. Randi even lets me “rent” her son Elijah from time to time as a movie buddy. And Donna who is my friend because she loves me just as I am and who I share all my “girl time” with. Donna is my confidant and a great source of support. She also is letting me turn her daughters into crafting superstars…even though she says she does not have a crafty bone in her body!

    My College roomie! We spent 5 years living together and are more like sisters than friends. Even though we live in different states and only see each other once or twice a year, it’s like we were just with each other the previous day. We’re always there for each other and aren’t afraid to tell each other the truth- even when it hurts. I don’t know what i would do without her.

He’s my Player 2 in video games, my co-pilot when we travel and my voice of reason when she leaves the building :). We’ve been together 20 years and can almost finish eachother’s sentences…maybe in another 20 years we’ll get it down.

Then while I was helping him shop for Christmas gifts for his nieces and nephews something clicked and I realized that I loved him in spite of his craziness and I couldn’t live without him. I guess he felt the same way because that was 24 years ago. He is still the first one I turn to for every good, bad and sad time. I never get tired of his company! I am so blessed and thank God for him every day. He is a wonderful father and an incredible husband and friend! My life truly is a fairy tale.

As we grow up and move away, start families, etc…, it becomes harder to stay as close to our old friends as we once were. New friends are wonderful, but there isn’t the history that allows for total candor and inside jokes. That is why my hubby and my mom are my constants.

She’s always there when I need her, we’ve been through some difficult times together and always come out the other end stronger. She lives nearly 1500 miles away, but I know if I need her, she’ll be here, and same for me. Both of us a single, never married, no kids and family by choice, not by birth.

When something good happens (births of our children, new job, promotion, etc) you want to share that special moment with the people you love, and when bad things happened (my parents and husband death, her divorce)there’s not better comfort than the one from a good friend. She has a big heart, is kind, positive and has a laugh that make the walls shake!

    My best friend is Mar. She is the most selfless person I know. She is the kind of friend that is there for me no matter what. She listens, where some of my fiends only want me to listen to them. She took care of her Dad for four years before he passed and I saw the dedication and love it took to do this. She is an angel on earth. She has the ability to see when people are hurting and what they need. She is always taking care of elderly people and you could say she has a gift where people are concerned. I feel very fortunate that she picked me to be her best friend. I truly feel honored!

I can tell him ANYTHING and feel like our relationship blossoms even further when we have ANYTHING conversations. We have similar tastes in many things and enjoy many of the same hobbies/interests.

    My best friend is a gal named Pat. There are many reasons for this. First of all, she is my Soul Sister – we just “click”. But the real reason is because she accepts me for what and who I am. No strings, no judgements, and NO expectations. She just lets me “be.” I LOVE her to pieces!!!!

Dina, her Mom and Dad always welcomed me into their home regardless of the time or situation. They gave me lots of advice that I still refer to today. They were my Angels, always watching over me! We have been friends for MANY years and although we no longer live close to each other, whenever the phone rings, it’s as if we just saw each other an hour ago.

    I am lucky to have two best friends. Sarah and I have always been friends but became best of friends after, on a whim, I asked her to go on a trip with me over 10 years ago. We both have a love for music and have played our flutes together so much that we automatically know what the other one is going to do. We don’t even need to tune before we play since we are always “in tune.” My other BFF is my mom. She is my rock and my best bud. I don’t know what I would do without her. I am truly blessed.

    Without a doubt, my husband is my best friend! We have grown closer over our 42 years of marriage. I love the idea someone shared that on your wedding day, you love that person less than you will the rest of your life… it was certainly true for us!

    Through ups and downs, much happiness and much sadness…we have always LOVED each other… I pray the same for our three children in their marriages!

    My best friend is a wonderful woman named Mandy. We met at a Bunco game and hit it off right away. We have much in common, but we compliment each other well, and I think that is what makes us best friends. She pushes me when I would be passive, I soften her when she would be too blunt, and together we have done traveling that I never dreamed I’d get to do! She is a tremendous blessing in my life!

I also think it’s important to have girlfriends and I have several I would call “best friends”. They each have their own personalities and encourage me in different ways as I do them.

We would drive around Atlanta all night, stay up at the crack of dawn laughing at IHOP. She has been there for me through many failed relationships. She has been here for the marriage to my husband, the birth of my son. And even though she has moved twice and is very far away from me, we talk on the phone everyday. We still grocery shop and cook together via the telephone and FaceTime. She is the only one who understands me and speaks my crazy. When we are 90, we will share a room together in the nursing home or looney bin.

When I became disabled and fat, she sat at my bedside through many hospital stays and comforted me when my husband left me in my time of need.

    I have several best friends but if I’m being honest however the one I would actually call my “very best friend”, light of my life, my little sunshine, happens to be my precious little Bentley(my Yorkie Poo). He is the one there during the worst of times, the best of times, and he is there to comfort me when no one else is. He gives a love that is unconditional and he brings a smile to my face every single day! I don’t know what I would do without him. I know my response may be considered unconventional, but I’m sure there are others that have a love just like this. It is truly a love like no other:). For the record, I don’t have children of my own so my furbabies have always been like children to me. And I do have several “best friends” that I can’t just choose one for that title and those friends have been by my side for a very long time but I wanted to respond with the one that I truly consider my very best friend and that is without a doubt my precious little Bentley Beau:)
