Lifetime friends
You get best friends. Pick-me-up friends. Party friends. Cry-over-the-phone friends.
Sometimes if you are very very lucky, you get a friend that you have had all your life.
Quintus and his friend Michael, have been friends since they could realize there is such a thing as friends. They went to the same day mom, started pre-school on the same day and have slept over at each other’s homes when they were still in nappies.
Just amazing friends.
They went to different primary schools though and we thought that in the end they would just grow apart. This has not happened though. Even though they don’t see near enough of each other, when they DO see each other, it’s as though there has never been any time lost.
They are lucky. Even though they are only 9, they have a life-long friendship.
The two of them not even three years old yet
This was taken on Monday night when we went out for Quintus' birthday
Super Mom .... or not 
how special for both of them

Happy Birthday Quintus! My eldest also has a close friend from very young. They are both almost 14 and are STILL the best of buddies!

true friendship is always there, even if you don’t see each other as often.

This is so cool… I often wished the knucklehead did better at keeping friends. I try to help him keep contact without being pushy, but it doesn’t work well.

I have a friend, Andrea – we have been friends since the first day of SubA – in 1979! 30 Years isn’t bad, hey? wish the same to Quintus!
