I've had best friends where we did everything together, and I loved it, but as we got older, got married and moved away, we've lost that closeness. We still have a great bond, but the three of us live 1000 miles apart now, and we'd be lucky to see each other once every 10 years.
To be honest though, it doesn't really bother me that much that I don't have a best friend that lives close. Maybe I'm too independent? I have friends at church, at the kids school and in the neighbourhood who I talk to in passing, but we don't get together for coffee or visit each others houses or anything. I'm happy knowing I have scrapping friends online, but again, I'm not super-best-friend-close to anyone really. My life is pretty busy, and I guess I like my alone time to scrap. It would be nice to have a best friend, but at the end of the day I guess I'm OK with how things are, and fill the gap with scrapping and family.
