Who are you close to in life?

Out of everyone I know (myself excluded), I’m probably closest with my aunt. I’m not very close with my aunt. I call her weekly, which is a positive.

Right now I have two close friends at school. We tolerate each other’s bad habit and “nasty” jokes, and expect to give the same amount that we take. They are one of the few people that I have no hesitation to help with their financial problem because I know they will return my money and in the end they don’t depend on me.

I have six or seven close girlfriends – two of whom are cousins of mine – three close gay guy friends and one close straight guy friend. In my family, I am close with three nephews and my two sons and their wives. I am not particularly close with my siblings and quite distant from one of them.

With my friends, I get and give counsel and support and practical help – since many of my friends are single now. We also socialize together. With my sons, the sharing is less selective but the support and love are there.

I am closest with my boyfriend right now: I live with him, he is a natural part of every day, he’s the one I talk to about things that happen in my everyday life. I love him so much.

I have a best friend who I have known since we were three. We went to college in different states, but magically, our careers ended up bringing us to the same city again. I can walk to her apartment now. We are getting very close again. Being apart for five years did cause us to grow into somewhat different people than we were before, so it has been a little bit of an adjustment because there has been so much of her life that has happened in the interim that I have had to learn, and vice versa, but I value her so so so much and I always will.

I have always been very close to my mother but physical distance has naturally lessened our relationship somewhat just because we don’t see each other or talk as often. We will always be best friends though.

I love the rest of my family (dad and sister), I have a few friends from college who are still close by and some coworkers who I consider friends, but I tend to be very close with only a few people, and the ones listed above are the most important in my life.

I’m close with my son. No one else within a thousand miles. Beyond borders I have a cousin I feel I could count on. I have a ‘boyfriend ’ but we rarely see each other and our relationship is probably more detrimental because of the distance and severe lack of understanding. I have a few people who are nice friends but they are all thousands of miles away. I have no one to put into my ICE numbers but my 11 year old son. Let that sink in people.

One good friend. my daughter and my pets. :-)

My Sister

I used to be close to a good few people. I didn’t realize what a rich person I was until I moved. I had so many friends, real friends. Moving kind of sucks when you lose your network. I am now only close to my boyfriend.

I have a best friend. She’s probably my favourite person on Earth. I love her. I have lots of amazing friends, they’re the people who keep me on my feet. Of course there is also my 3 dogs, they’re my best friends too. They’re the people who make me happy.

The two people I am/was closest to in my family are my dad and my grandmother (my dad’s mother). Unfortunately my grandmother died a month ago, a loss that I am not going to get over any time soon.

Outside of the family, I have my boyfriend who is closer to me than the majority of my biological family.

cosmic consciousness…haha

I’m very close to my wife and kids, as should be obvious to anyone who has been reading my posts over the years.

I’m also close to my siblings and have been all my life.

My older brother passed in 2000, at age 64. My older sister passed last November at age 79. My youngest brother and our three youngest sisters decided it will be important for us to let our offspring, the next generation, get to know each other.
