Has anyone ever have a friendship last a lifetime? I feel like that all friendships are bound to end at some point. The only difference is that some will end on good terms, which is not painful at all, while others end poorly and bring pain among one or both people involved. What is your opinion on this? Just curious.

My opinion on this...is the intent is there when we say "friends forever"...but life changes..people move, get married, get jobs, have kids...anyone I ever said "friends forever" to...we ended up parted in one of those ways...
The only real friend i have had forever "22 years"...seems like forever..is my X husband..the person that knows me the best....but we have no choice because we have children together..and I guess if I think about it..we are really not "friendly" all the time...more of the opposite of friendly most of the time....but the longest I have kept in contact with anyone has been him...
Even some of my family members do not know me or haven't been in my life as long as he has.
It seems that since you started this post..you have recently lost a friend...one way or another..and it sucks when that happens...I did lose one friend because the way my kids were treating me so badly was impacting HER health...and that sucked...its always good to know the reason why something ended.
I hope you find peace with whatever is going on with you.
