How old were you when your best friend moved away?
Options
My son's best friend, who is also like a son to us, moved away to Texas today. They are 16 years old and have been best friends since 18 mos old. It got me thinking of when one of my childhood friends moved away to California when I was in 4th grade. I never saw her again and I think there were only a few letters exchanged.
So this got me wondering how old were you when your childhood best friend moved away?

Thankfully, we are inseperable. He is like my right hand... man. Honestly, I was 12. My best friend that is, not my right hand.0

I was 10 when my best friend moved to Virginia. They moved back a year later. Then two years ago they moved to Europe, and now they are coming back next month!!
I can say it is very worth staying in touch! It keeps you from being upset on those days you really miss hanging out with them or just having your best friend to talk with. Because when you stay in touch you know how their doing and it's a little bit easier
Hope the best for your son!

I have had the same best friend since I was 8 years old. I was 18 when I moved away from her. Nothing has changed in our relationship, and I see her once a year. We talk on the phone once every month or so (for an hour or more).
Flying back home in 6 days, can't wait to see her0 -
My best friend moved away up to Northern BC 4 years ago, we see each other maybe once or twice a year now0

This. It's comical how few close friends I have. But those that are, are mostly friends I've made in my adult life.0 -

My very best friend in the whole world lived right beside me till I was 7..
She moved not too far away so we still seen each other often till she graduated, but our friendship wasn't as close...
It was still heartbreaking though we used to sneak over to each others house late at night I missed her..0 -

We moved a lot when I was a kid too, 4th and 5th grade are the only years I went to the same school. My closest friends since have all been long distance friends. As an adult my BFF moved when I was 26, haven't had one since, 34 now. Pathetic I know. lol :noway:0 -
Best friends since 14 and we live in the same city, but don't see each other but once or twice a year.0

I was the one that moved away. From him and her. I seriously think I probably would have married my best guy friend, he was the most gentlemanly 6 year old I ever knew. I loved his mom too! I was 6 when I moved away. I think about them a lot though. :[0

I actually moved away from my best friend...I was 8.0

My mom was the person who helped set up new stores and train people in new departments so we were always the family that moved. The longest i ever stayed in one place was about 5 years when I was in 8th grade - 12th grade. The best friend I had during those years moved away when we were in 11th grade, but we still keep in touch to this day.0

I was always the friend who moved away. My father was military.0

I was 10 and we lost touch, but I found him again about 4 years ago, so we're in touch some now....I missed him and thought about him all those years!
I think it's different nowdays, with all the technology, etc. your 16 year-old should be able to stay in contact through phone, facebook etc. Not the same as in person, but better than nothing!0 -

That is sad, to me it is at least. But in the same aspect life is crazy busy so it is understandable in a way too.0 -
My best friend moved away the summer after 7th grade, and we were both 13. It was heart wrenching and I still remember the moment she broke the news they would be moving four hours away. Then, we went to college 13 hours apart. Now we live across the country from one another. Thankfully, our friendship was true and we remain best friends to this day, 12 years later. Her family is like my second family and even though I haven't seen her in over a year now, or we go months without speaking, we always pick up right where we left off and never miss a beat
I'm so thankful to have found at least one true friend!
