Older Than It Feels

Marvin Erikson was my best friend in high school.  We had only spent one year together freshman year but we never stopped talking or engaging together.  I have not really gone to him with any personal problem of mine but he has to me.  I believe him to be a lifelong friend because although not physically seeing him for years we have remained close.  I enjoy giving him my opinion on problems although he may not take too kindly.  It just seems like the kind of relationship it would take a lot to sever.
