Losing or Gaining?

Did you ever have a best friend that was truly your best friend? She did everything with you, helped you, encouraged you, laughed at you, cried with you, everything! And you did the same for her and it was wonderful!

And then she got a boyfriend, a real one. And now you're faced with a dilemma- are you losing your best friend? Or gaining a new friend?

I want to say I'm gaining a new friend- and I did! But in some reality and to some extent I definately lost a portion of my best friend. She always seems to be going, going, going now- going to work, going to school, or going to hang out with her boyfriend. And unfortunately when she's not, I invariable am. And when neither of us are her boyfriend inevitably comes with us.

We promised each other that we wouldn't grow apart, no matter where we lived, what happened in our lives, or how we grew up. We promised that we'd always stay friends-I guess we just never really figured on life changing our friendship.

We'll always be dear to each other, and I'd say we definately have a good few years left of close, close ties, but having this happen just made me wonder how long it'll be before life changes our ways and what is really going to happen.

I know exactly what you mean Bonnie dear! That happened with me and MY best friend too, and my best friend was my older sister.
I always got a little possessive when she was out on dates and stuff. And then when she got all her college buddies when she went off to BYU, I was even more envious! The day she got married, I knew that I was kinda losing a big chunk of her, just because HER new best friend was her husband now. I cried so hard the day before and the day of her wedding. Even though it won't ever be like it used to, we still hang out, though she is most often with her husband and her little baby. But I can totally sympathize with you on this. It's hard!
Don't worry, it won't be long until YOU find a boyfriend, and then you'll forget all about it! :) LOL!
