Are you still friends with any of your childhood friends?

So true story... My best friend and I are as close to twins as could be. We were born in the same hospital. His mom and my mom were in the maternity ward together. We were born at the same exact time EXCEPT he was born 24 hours before I was - exactly 24 hours. I should've been the oldest, but it took me 36 hours to pop out.

We were together from nursery to preschool, preschool to kindergarten, kindergarten through elementary school and into high school. The only thing that separated us - he went to the army, I went to college (I was supposed to enlist in the Marines, but couldn't due to my diabetes).

We chat weekly at a minimum today.

Yeah, my best friend and I growing up was similar. We were both born on the same day, same hospital, and we both were born with severe hearing loss as a result of Rubella.

His parents had a Winnebago and we used to watch the Dukes of Hazard and their camper had a Dukes horn announcing our arrival at the campground.

We were huge fans of Star Wars and pretended to be SW characters. Same with DC/Marvel characters. Mostly Spider-Man, Captain America and Superman. He once pretended to be Superman jumping off the roof of his house and actually broke his leg. Yeah, those were the days, lol.

We grew apart in HS and very rarely ever connected again. While I was in college he unfortunately fell into drugs and ended up in prison for a while. I met him once briefly in a bar 20+ years ago and he didn't look so great. Felt bad for him.

Have no idea what's happened to him since.
