Having a friend, like you see both growth in any aspect, and as you grow older, no matter how long the distance, the closeness will still remain and that is seriously one beautiful relationship. You both keep the friendship and closeness you have till today. I sure if the kids will be given more time, they will grow closer too. And that's another line that will make you two closer. I really wish I have a relationship like that, a best friend, a family, ahh, like a friend can be an all in one right ✨❤️
