“Friends are the family we choose for ourselves” quote Edna Buchanan which proves all too true as many people have friends they trust just as much as their family members. The bond of friendship is a precious one as it tends to only get stronger with time. Here are 10 amazing photos that show true friendship at it’s finest.

Sarah said, “This picture was taken when we were 9 years old. Now almost 20 years have passed and I still love it! Sarah is my life, I love her and she was the one who made me happy when I was in anguish. What’s most fun are our identical names, Sarah! ”

“Shannon and I have been friends since childhood. Although Shannon is 3 years younger than me, we have a lot of similarities.
However, when we got older we went to study at different schools. I then tried to find Shannon on Facebook and was successful. Our friendship is even stronger than before after we reconnected.
Nowadays we’re exchanging Facebook messages daily. I feel so lucky that my best friend has returned to my life.”

We call ourselves “THE GANG”. Some of us have been friends since elementary school and high school.
As we grew older, we don’t see each other as often as we’d like because we’re all busy with our families and careers. We do make an effort to keep in touch and occasionally we do go out to eat together or to celebrate a big birthday,” said Choy Peng.
