Well what I would do is I would hang out with him as much as possible before he moves away. And keep a positive attitude, you don't want to be all mopey and make him feel worse =( and then whenever he does move away, just IM him and ask him how it is there and is the house nice and stuff.. and then maybe write him a few letters every now and then too, and if he's not moving away like REALLY REALLY far, then maybe every few months he/you could visit one eachother. But the one positive thing I've ever had about a friend moving away, a new one always comes along =) Hope I helped!!





Love,
MELii

I can't tell you how I feel since this has never happened to me. Before he moves you should spend as much time with him as you can and not just sit along wishing that he wouldn't leave because you can't stop him. How far away is he moving? Maybe you can still visit. Another idea is to throw a party before he goes. He would leave on a good note and I know that you would have fun.

-Hope I helped

ok with me, i lived in texas for 15 years *same house and everything* and about a month ago i moved almost 800 miles away to georgia. it was bad because i had a lot of close friends that i didn't want to leave...but i'm gonna tell ya, my last month i had with them, was probably the best month i've EVER had...i'll never forget it. even tho your friend moving away, doesn't mean ya'll can't still talk on the phone. i talk to my friends all the time and it doesn't even feel like we're 800 miles away. *~*or you can do what my friends threatened to do to me...kidnap him and throw him in the closet and feed him noodles through the bottom of the door. lol jp*~*

nobody has moved away from me, but i think it would suck so much. all you can really do, is try your best to stay in contact with them. call eachother if you can, the computer (AIM), emailing, letters, occasionally visit eachother. stuff like that, yah know? you could plan that you visit him sometime, and then in a few monthes, he visits you. or something like that. just stay friends, most importantly. =) hope that helped! goodnight.

ash_fire07 answered Thursday July 7 2005, 2:18 am:
Yes....it can be very heartbreaking when a friend moves away. Buy a calling card.....buy a bunch of calling cards, haha. Talk to your parents about maybe visiting each other for a holiday or something. If you have a sn then IM each other everyday! Send pics to each other to keep each other updated, there's a whole list of things you can do. It wont be the same as hanging out everyday but its pretty close, haha.

When Friends move away it can be very hard to deal with. i lost a bestfriend, ex girlfriend who i still liked, and im going to lose another best friend. There is nothing to do except remember the good times, keep pictures. Try to stay in touch with them by writing letters, E-mails AOL. I tried to keep in touch with most of my friends that have gone away it can be tough but it gets easier to deal with once it happenes

always here

Goodluck:)

I have had to move a few times and have had friends move away and it never seems to get easier. However, it will happen. There is always college or another job or _something_. If you are such good friends then the friendship will not end, but it will take effort on both of your parts to keep it going. Try and opt for cell phone plans with free long distance if you like talking on the phone, otherwise e-mail each other at least once a week (or if its too hectic during the week then write about all your drama on the weekend). Real letters are also fun to recive once in a while (or post cards,I'm sure you can find a few touristy ones). When I moved I was crushed becuase I was leaving friends and family. Its has been a few years since then and I still wish that we were nearer but we call at least every three weeks or so, always on birthdays, or if we just need to vent. We also keep up with e-mails most of the time. Its not always perfect though. Some months there is hardly a word, while others we talk three times! If it means a lot to you talk to your friend about it and tell him that you'll miss him. Just because hes moving doesn't mean that you wont talk ever again, jsut have realistic expectations (basically he won't be there quite as much) and your friendship should persevere.

Shortie8959 answered Wednesday July 6 2005, 11:53 pm:
Hey! Well, that's never happened to me, but there are some things that you can do to stay in touch. Sometime before he leaves, have a party with him and your friends, and have someone videotape the whole thing, and then later on, when you miss him, you can watch the tape. Oh, and if you don't already have xangas, you can get one and look at each others, so you know what's going on in his life and everything. And maybe once a week or so, watch a movie together over the phone. You can even send each other little gifts through the mail. And try to call as much as possible. And maybe once a month or something, if he's not TOO far away, maybe you can visit each other. Good luck! I hope I helped! ♥ Erin

Its tought alot of my friends moved away , we still keep in touch by writing emails and telephone calls. You should spend some time with him before he moves away and later on you can go visit him or he can visit you if thats possible. Its not easy but there is nothing you can do to stop him from moving away unfortunatly. Hope that helped. ♥ Kate
