One of my friends and I have been friends since we were 9 and 11. She moved across the country when I was 16, and she was 14. We remained close. She has visited a few times to see me and relatives, and she was even in my wedding back in 2021. I have never been out there though unfortunately. We are now 22 and 24, and it's been a couple of years since we have seen each other in person.

Friendship is a sweet gift. Thanks for sharing your own stories, Jeff. (:
