2. 20 years

A Vietnam Vet who's seen a lot, on the battlefield and since, and is always a source of wit and wisdom.

We don't always agree - but that's part of the fun!

4. ✌🏻

[peppertree]

11. Well put.

He detests that war, and all the myriad corruption around it - both on the U.S. and South Vietnam side.

But he's proud of his service - as he should be.

5. My high school boyfriend

56 years. We’ve kept in touch and always get together when I go back to Chicago.

9. It would have been a childhood friend of 59 years.

Till he went bat-shit freep.

I'm going with my wife/best friend of 36 years and 42 years respectively.

10. My childhood friend that we called our "cousin".

We just had lunch with her when she and her husband visited our city recently....our moms were the first German war brides in our city. We have been friends for over 65 years!

12. Have me beat; 56 years.

She was my first supervisor when I got an office job right out of high school. Wonderful person, hilarious sense of humor, good friend.

Then another friend from my working days, 53 years. Played together on our office girls softball team in Boston. Just visited with her last week. Was wonderful seeing her in person after a year cooped up.

Amazing when you think of all the years that have gone by.

[Bev54]

13. Grade one friend

61 years.

[nancy1942]

14. 79 years.

My best friend for my entire life. Needless to say we grew up together.

[rsdsharp]

15. Fifty-six years. We met in fifth grade when his family moved into town

when his father partnered with our family doctor. By the way, I owe him an email.

[In_The_Wind]

16. Forty-nine years.

The man I was in love with through our college years.

[Aristus]

19. Probably my sister-in-law.

I've known her for over twenty-five years, longer than my own wife.

I had a friendship with a guy dating back about twenty-eight years or so, but last year, we found out he's been harassing women online. So no more friendship with him...

20. From college

We met somewhere between Fall '71 to Fall '72.

I have a distinct class memory but nor sure which year that was. Now, I think I have a 2nd memory- different class.

I'll have to call her. (I talked to her a few weeks ago)

So it's either 49, or 50 years! 🥰 💖

[lillypaddle]

21. My friend Peet (55 years)

Our maiden names were such that we were put alphabetically next to each other in dance class, our freshman year in college.

We live states apart nowadays, but she will always be my BFF.

[Marthe48]

22. My friend and I have been friends almost 64 years

I was waiting for the school bus when I met her. First and best friend

[Ocelot II]

23. 55 years.

My ex. We split many years ago but stayed friends.

[TexasBushwhacker]

24. About 50 years

I'm 64 and I have a friend I've known since 7th or 8th grade.

[ironflange]

[mnhtnbb]

26. Fifty six years

the Prince to my Snow White in a ballet recital.

[Iggo]

27. Zero days. LOL.

Twenty-four years ago, I cut every non-family person out of my life. Had to do it to save my own life. And it worked. But as a result, I have no friends. Only family. It was weird at first. But now I love it!

[Rhiannon12866]

28. My 4 BFFs from summer camp, we met when we were 12

We went through a lot over the years growing up and the friend whose parents owned and ran the camp we went to usually organizes a summer meetup back in Vermont - even though we're all in different states now. Last summer was the exception, though.
