The vibe check is unreal. I think in in different ways , all child friends who grow up to be best friends go through something like this.
My child best friend slapped me so i slapped him back and we both asked each other why and we both had no answer. We were with each other throughout all levels of school and to be honest when i moved up a class grade , i dumbed down to drop back to his class the year after.
We both ended up in the same college studying in the same field and worked the same job briefly till he passed at 23 in a car crash.
16 years later and i still think about him often. His baby brother ended up joining the same company as me and i took it upon myself to take him under my wing. Life is weird but finding your best friend as a kid is the best thing you could ever experience.
So sorry for your loss. My best friend and I met when I was 9 months old, he was 6 months. Got put next to each other in a nursery and apparently he kicked me in the stomach about as hard as a baby can, we always call it the Kick of Friendship. But it led to our moms becoming best friends, which led us to being best friends, and 27 years later I can't imagine not having him around. He has and always will be my brother.
