I know this, it is truly sad. I'm also not saying that you shouldn't try and make fiends, ("in friendships will normally fail given enough time") what I am saying though, is that most (Meaning if you have 10 friends, most likely you will have no more then 1-2 out of the 10 in 1-10 years)that you are still in contact with. and if you have a healthy relationship with your children/parents/siblings you will have that friendship forever.
