[QUOTE="GtrSmoker, post: 561861, member: 5014"] I’ve moved a great deal (IMO) for work over the course of my adult life: each of the Carolinas, a decade in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, five years in Louisville, and finally the Tampa area since ‘17. And the fiancé and I are looking at moving for good to TN or western VA within the next year or so. Anyway, I’ve found that the older I get, the harder it is to make new friends. As it stands now, I’ve got quite a few friends scattered throughout several states. But, for me at least, I still consider my best friends to be the ones I grew up with. My “Stand By Me” boys, I call them. Like the movie. Years sometimes go by without contact. But that closeness remains. In fact, my best friend since kindergarten, who I’ve seen relatively little since the turn of the millennium, is going to stand as my best man at my wedding in November. That choice just feels right. I was married before, for nearly a decade. My best man in that debacle was the bride’s brother. We HAD kinda been buddies in college. But in retrospect, that’s just as messed up a decision as marrying that one in the first place. But I digress. [/QUOTE]
