that was a very touching FB post.
I wish I'd had a close friend like that during my school years 
Schoolfriends are special. I went to twelve different schools thanks to being an RAF child so I felt they were almost disposable. There were always more at the next school. Fortunately I spent five very happy years at grammar school when we returned to UK so I was able to make some real friends at last. I wanted my own children to grow up with their schoolfriends and form lasting relationships so village life has suited us down to the ground. 
It's the Friends generation that started it here anno. I would listen to my twin daughters squealing and telling each other 'love you lots' whilst ending phone calls, or parting at the front door. They still have those same friends that they met at school 24 years ago. They're all having babies now, and have careers after uni. It's lovely to know they care for each other, but my goodness they do get loud!
Don't you think its so wonderful to get an insight into your DG's life merlotgran. Facebook has a lot of faults but when you get sneaky looks at what goes on with family and friends its can be wonderful.
thanks for posting that it almost brought a tear to my eye to I hope they manage to stay pals for a long time. 
I've just been reading a post for my 14yr old DGD1 on facebook. It's from her best friend who has recently had to change schools because they've moved outside the catchment area. DGD's friend says how much she is missing her....'Do you remember how we planned our future together? How you are going to be a doctor and I'm going to be a dentist. Do you remember we said we'd go to the same uni, get a camper van and travel Europe together? Do you remember we said we'd always be friends and nothing would ever come between us? I miss you sooooooooooo much?'
See you Saturday XX
I think I can put my hankie away
