Joe was my best friend since I was 16. He was actually my boyfriends, then husband and my best friend. Regardless of my personal relationships, they understood our relationship. We would go to lunch or dinner, called every week and got together whenever our schedules allowed. I've been lucky enough to have added another best "guy" friend to my life. We have been exceptional friends for 25 years. My boyfriend and I spend alot of time with him and his wife. Actually, my boyfriend walked her down the aisle for their wedding.

I believe men and women can be best friends. It is in the way you present and involve the person in your life that makes the difference. Unfortunately Joe passed away 2 years ago and I miss him very much. I lost a part of me that day.
