[huckster]

It is sad. My best friend moved to another state almost 2 yrs. ago. It was very sad. I must say that I think that we talk more now than when she lived here. We talk everyday through IM.

to you. I'm going through the same thing. BIL is in the Air Force. Right now they are stationed here and we live less than a mile from each other. Tonight DSis informs me that BIL is going to retire in the next year and they'll likely have to move. DSis is my bestest friend in the whole wide world. I know it's selfish but I don't want him to retire because I want her to stay here. I do understand his reasons, if he stays in he'll definitely have to go to Iraq. Still, I'm really upset about all this. Don't feel too bad, if we both feel this way it must be normal.

ETA: 2 years ago we moved from Biloxi here to VA. I left behind my other very best friend ever (other than DSis). It was SOOO hard. I miss her horribly and sometimes wish we'd never moved. We still talk on a daily basis but it's just not the same

It's so very hard, I know, 13 years ago my best friend (and she was my next door neighbor too) moved 500 miles away. But we stayed in touch, some years it was hard. We are still best freinds today... hang in there.

In 1992, my best friend moved to TX... then to Atlanta... then to NY. Know what? She's still my best friend.

With some people you just bond. We are like sisters. We see each other maybe 3 times a year now and we keep in touch through calls and EM. It is like we never physically left one another since we pick up where we left off and are always up on the latest gossip in each other's lives.

It really stinks to have your BF move away. But, if your relationship is strong, you will find a way to overcome your sadness and realize that you now have a place to visit away from your home. Heck, maybe you and she can plan a weekend away together with or without your DH's every now and then. She has invited me to doctor conventions, but they have never been at the right time for me to pick up and go. I hope when our kids are older, it will get easier for us to get together, but for now, I'm just happy that she's still in my life.

I know it's hard. My best friend died a year and a half ago at age 31, and I miss her every day. I wish she was just in another state.

Aw...that's so sad. You are really going to miss her. There's no getting around it. I've lost many a best friend due to moves. Sorry to hear this.

I feel your pain - my best friend just moved to Indiana - from Long Island. I miss her - we have spoken and will email - but it is just not the same.

I'm so sorry. The thought of my best friend moving away is unbearable. Dear close friends are not always that easy to come by. With e-mail, it's much easier to keep in touch but it's not the same.

I'm so sorry. It's so painful to have a best friend move away or have to move away yourself.

I wouldn't say "Don't Go" to her since I'm sure she wouldn't go if she had a choice in the matter anyway. I'd just try to be supportive and do all I could to keep our friendship close. And maybe somehow this won't end up happening and she'll get to stay.

I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss. Like someone else said, good close friends are hard to come by.

My best friend moved away 5 years ago, we talk every day through IM's, and with our families/work/kids/we haven't been able to get together.
Sometimes friendships are hard to keep going, but somehow they survive.

I do feel for you, someone special that you share so much with it's sad when they move away.

I myself haven't been able to find someone as special since.

Now I am sad.............

 

[Mandabella]

Oh I feel for you.

Mine is just talking about moving to another state over 1,000 miles away and I'm bummed. She's already a 2 hour drive from me right now....she'll be a plane ride when they move.

Thank you, Shugardrawers. I appreciate that.

Huckster, now you have another place to vacation to. Outside of WDW of course.
