Do you have a close friend?

I used to have a lady that I got really close with (as friends) in my area. We would talk all throughout the day, every day. It started with me buying some of her homemade candles and we just started talking and added each other on FB. Then she started messaging me the most random things about her day and at first I thought it was a bit strange but I would talk to her about whatever randomness she messaged me about and then I started telling her random things, as well, until basically we were sharing our whole days with one another and going to each other over everything. We quickly became best friends and started hanging out regularly and our kids would play. This lasted for a few months and then our kids started not getting along so well together so it caused us to not get along so well together either. I miss having that close of a friendship. I’ve never had a friendship that close before but it would never work out between us. Maybe one day I’ll make another friend that close. Would love to hear your friend stories 😊

This is me and my dog "chief." He was my best friend, until he passes away 4 years ago. I would walk him around the neighborhood 4 or 5 times a day.

There was a lady in our neighborhood who had a baby, and quite often I would see the two of them outside. Well, when my dog passed away she approached me and asked if I would be interested in walking her dog. I immediately said yes. We got kind of close. I also became good friends with her husband too. Back to the lady, we each shared some personal stuff with each other. Then they moved into town. I would go over to her place I don't know how many times a week to walk the dog, and she and her little daughter would join me. Then, my car broke down and I haven't seen her or the dog since about mid December.

The reason for sharing this is because we became real close friends, and believe it or not, I miss her.

@powernap I’m so sorry you lost your dog and also that you haven’t been able to visit her and her dog. That’s super special and it’s so sweet she welcomed you into her life.

@tiltawhirl chief had cancer. That's what took him. Thank you for your thoughts. ❤

@powernap awww yes I know you definitely do and I’m sure you’ll always miss him. It’s hard to lose a good boy. Thank you for sharing your story with me. It’s a very nice story aside from losing your buddy, of course.
