Long distance buddy

[Quinch]

My best mate is moving to London. She's got a top job as PR advisor to some MP in Westminster. I hardly see her as it is because she's always busy running her own business and now she's going to be even further away. We don't have a romantic thing but we are close - like brother and sister - and I'm going to miss her more than ever. She can still come up to this part of the world from time to time and I can still go down there if necessary but I don't have any other friends round here that I'm as close to. I'm happy for her but at the same time it's like a kick in the gut. It sucks to be me

you can still keep in touch and maintain a friendship. I did for a short time with an old friend who moved away and I later reconnected with. Even though she was thousands of miles away we spoke every day.

That's very true and, to be honest, she might not be moving permanantly. I don't want her not to move because that's being selfish, but I hope she does come back soon.

In the wonderous age of IM and telephones, maintaining a relationship shouldnt be too hard, but it will suck not to have face to face heart to hearts... if ya get me... But best friends don't fade with time - remember that, and dont give the relationship a CHANCE to fall apart
