I have know Jayne for over 50 years. We met at a diabetic camp and have stayed best friends since. We have been there for each other thru births of our kids and deaths of members of family.
I have 2 BFFs. All 3 of us have a daughter who are great friends who graduated from high school together. Suzanne and I met at church. Her daughter Lori and my daughter Holly were in Sunday School and were confirmed together and Denise and I met when her daughter Heather and Holly were in cheerleading together. Suzanne, Denise, and I try to get together at least once a month. Our daughters talj to each other as often as they can. What’s even nicer is that our husbands became good friends.
My best friend is Chris, who I have known since 5th grade, so we were around 10. We are now 60 years old so that’s 50 years of precious friendship. We have been thru alot of triumphs and tradegys together, thick and thin. She will be my best friend in Heaven, that is for sure, I love her dearly!
My bff is my daughter who I have known for nearly 33 years. She is always there for me and gives me her honest opinion on things, even if it isn’t what I want to hear. : )
My husband is my bff and I’ve known him for 29 years!!!!
My BFF and I have known each other since the day she was born. lol I was born in July and she in September. Our parents were best friends and we attended the same church. We vacationed together. Our highlight was checking out all the boys in the campground!! So 61 years is how long I’ve known Pam!
52 years and counting
Would love this for my book club.
I have known my BFF for 57 years. She is my sister Nina.
I met my BFF in Sept 1957….starting 1st grade.
We were next door neighbors as children and have remained friends for 63 years!💕
I have known my best friend for 26 years. I gave birth to her on February 15, 1991. We have had a special bond that is deeper than just a mother-daughter one. When her friends & colleagues ask her about me, she qualifies it with, “She is my mom and best friend!” It is a rare and lovely friendship.
I’ve known my BFF since college-41 years.
I have known mine for about 45 years. She was a good friend of my brother’s, who was four years older than me. They dated just a little it, but always stayed friends. We moved out of state while my brother was in the Air Force. He sadly died in a horrible motorcycle accident. She stuck by me while I grieved. Even though she was older than me, we became close. Her own daughter died tragically when she was 14. There hasn’t been a 100 percent reason as to why. As she lost some friends who didn’t have any idea how to “listen”, I stayed by her side. Now, we are close as we have ever been. I’m so lucky to have her in my life.
The whole idea of best friends always baffled me? I have always loved my two brothers so very much & my husband is now.. and has been my best friend!
I also have a daughter,and three sons, that are my best friends …and now I have five of the cutest Grandchildren that are my very BEST friends!
As time goes on I think & have always kept GOD as my go to …. VERY BEST friend!
Been Bless so much!!!

The best friend I ever had was my brother Josh, he was 18 months younger. We grew up doing everything together. We even dated our spouses together and got married within 3 months of each other. Our children were close in age and we always “hung out” with Josh and his wife. Then the fateful day in January of 2008 took him away, I have missed him so very much!!
46 yrs.
My best friends are my twin sisters and I have known them for 69 years. Thanks for this giveaway.
Joan
I have two best friends. My older sister who I know for 69 years and my identical twin sister for 69 years,too. Thank you for the generous giveaway.
Marion
I have known my best friend, Sandy for 55 years! We live 1,000 miles apart but still keep in touch and when we visit, we pick up right where we left off!
My BFF and I have known each other for 35 years. Our husbands were friends. Through thick and thin, we have been there for each other, my divorce, childrens marriages, grandchildren, great grandchildren, vacations, yard sales, hospital stays, moves, concerts and deaths of our parents. We have cried and laughed til we cried. The memories we have made will last for the rest of our lives. Last year I moved from the Northeast to the South and although 1200 miles separate us, we get together a couple times a year and pick up where we left off. I think we were related in a former life and hope that in a future life, we’ll be right by each others side.
I’ve known my best friend since about 5th grade. We really became BFF 25 years ago when we worked on our 25 year class reunion. This weekend we will be having our 50th reunion.
We both love to read. It would be fun to win and share with her

I have 2 very close BFF, one for 26 years, the other for 32 years! They are my rock!
My first best friend was my Mother, who died 14 years ago. My next best friend and traveling partner is my daughter who just turned 45. My mother and I traveled together too and had so much fun except she didn’t like to fly. My daughter loves to fly and away we go.
I’ve known my BFF for 40 years!
47 years. Some better than others. Lol
I’ve known my BFF Lauren since 2009, even though it hasn’t been truly a long long time we instantly hit it off when we met. We both have similar personalities, and we both really enjoy cross stitching, I actually taught her how! Even though we live across the state from each other now we still talk regularly and meet up in Seattle to hang out every so often as we both adore Seattle.
48 years, we met in 7th grade. Her name is Sue.
My other one is my sister who I’ve known for 58-1/2 years. We have stuck thru good and bad times (for both of us and between each other), I wouldn’t trade her for anything!
I’ve known my BFF for 8 years. We have very similar backgrounds, and we hit it off the first time we met. We worked at the same company, so we had lunch together every day. She’s in Southern California and I’m in Washington State. I miss her every day!
My younger sister is the person I would consider my closest friend, and I’ve known her for 51 years.
I have known my bf for more than 15 yrs. We worked together at a retreat center. She was a cook/housekeeper and I was an administrator. We both say it was the best place we worked and most rewarding!
My Best Friend we have been through a lot love, divorce, death, and more love and great friendship, Could not ask for more
I’ve known one of my bff’s for at least 50 years. We lived in the same very rural neighborhood and went to school together our entire lives. As children, we had a crush on each others cousins – who also grew up in the same neighborhood. That was back when each family had only one vehicle and there were no electronic games or videos. We made our own fun with our own imaginations and getting to go to the 5 &10 occasionally was a treat. Ahh, but what a wonderful childhood it was and I wouldn’t trade it or my bff for anything!
I’ve known my best friend for many years, but the best part is my son married her daughter and now we share a grandchild. So much fun. We don’t have to worry about boring each other with too much grandchild talk.
My BFF ‘s are my sisters Mary Ann and Carolyn . We have been close for my whole life of 70 years. They are always there for me.
