[quote=Anonymous]OP again - I will say that when my mother was dying, her “mom friends” of 40 years were the ones still with her. I think most friendships arise situationally - school or college friends, work friends, neighbor friends, mom friends. Some carry on past the situation and others don’t. I’m not sure if you can know in advance which endure. And I’m not even sure if it’s always significant which ones do. Life happens. We’re all flawed, too. And see each other’s flaws and annoying traits. I don’t feel like we have perfect friends. I think of that quote from the movie - Stand By Me: "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?" I feel like high school graduation is also a big change for parents in many ways with a lot of uncertainties and this is one of them. [/quote]
