Pretty much since he was born, ten days after I was.
Both his mother and mine were pregnant refugees, who met in the gynaecologist's waiting room after my father asked my mother, in a language he thought nobody else would understand, "why is this weirdo staring at me?", referring to the other woman's brother.
You know, Twinkle Dink, I've thought a second here and I am unsure if I have just 'one' best friend.
I am blessed to have several friends who are SO different from each other that I wonder how I am blessed to know such varied people who, in their dissimilarities, all really love me. (I'm not trying to sound arrogant there at all.) I'm unsure if some of my very close friends would enjoy each other's company if they met or knew each other -- but they all care for me.
Each of my friends whom I consider so very close -- they all know me totally, me, with all my damn insecurities and my doubts sometimes, and they all still love me. And I love them. They all contribute to my being a better person -- they encourage me, laugh with me, care about me.
The years I've known them -- range from one or two since my teen years to the most recent, about seven years maybe (I guess I don't keep track so well) in friendship.
