I've had a few 'best friends' throughout life, the longest being Patty, with whom I'd been best friends from 2nd grade on up until my 20's. Life, family, etc., caused us to drift apart; the last time we got together was 3 years ago, and, while it was a good day, I left knowing I had nothing in common with this woman any more.
Currently, my best friend is Becky. We first met four years ago-we both belong to a car club and decided, online in a chat, to meet in Charlotte, NC with a group of mutual friends. Now, when I head south for a visit, we always share a hotel room and she is always taking care of me, insisting on buying my meals, etc. We've had our arguments, but we always make up, understanding each other more each time. We actually have very little in common. She's divorced, no kids, lives in Tennessee with her mother, born and raised in the South. But it works.
