I relate to this.  I’m in my 30s and parted ways with my best friend in Match of 2012. Over the last year I’ve read many articles on morning friends which, as a parent, I’ll admit, I felt like I should know already.  But they did help, and over the last 13 months I’ve made four new friends I see with regularity and a handful I go to lunch with occasionally, trade recipes with, etc.

Losing my closest friend taught me how to be a better friend.
