I have/had 3 friends with whom I've been close for our entire lifetimes. One I met from birth, one I met when we were 5 years old, and one I met in second grade. The friendships are over half a century old. Very sadly, one of my "sister-friends" passed away one month ago. It's been hell for me.
My friends and I have been through thick and thin together. Apparently, my situation is rare- but it does exist for some people.
