I agree, a true friend is like a brother or sister. If you don't see them for a month or year or five years, it doesn't matter; the moment you do see them, it's like no time passed.
Had one like that in high school, we were friends for 20 years even though we lived 200 miles apart much of that time. He's dead now, dammit.
How do you get to be friends that way? By going through a lot of stuff together, helping each other out, sharing a lot of good times and bad, always being there for each other when the other calls. Over time the two of you might grow apart in interests, but it doesn't matter; by that time you've got so much shared history and trust that you're part of each other. Like a brother or sister.
