Building your life around friends rather than a spouse/lover or family

I'm sure that sooner or later my buddy and I will be living together, if only because he's ten years older than me and he's slowly losing his eyesight (macular degeneration).

For a long time, I've wanted him to sell his sizable, very conveniently located, fully paid-for condo in a Brooklyn row house and buy a two-apartment house in Queens and rent me the upper floor. But he's very fond of his neighborhood, which I find pretty but somewhat dull, and he's not crazy about Queens and definitely doesn't value the ethnic restaurants here. Oh well ...
 
A reason, a season, or a lifetime ... that was a quote I saw a while ago to describe friends and for the most part, it has held true. In my experience, there have been no "lifetimes." Bullied as a child, I became quite independent. It made me very cautious of those in whom I place my trust. Friends are few and far between and today, there's no one I consider a "lifetime" friend. The only ones to fit that category were my parents. (I know, that by saying that, there are few individuals who can call their parents their friends. I could.) They have both passed and they are missed terribly because the void is deeply felt.
 
After my mom is gone I won’t have any contact with family and I’m fine with that. I don’t even have my sister’s phone number or friends with her on Facebook.

I know that I’ll still be friends with my best friend fora long time to come. We’ve talked about how we’ll be those old guys sitting on a park bench playing chess on day. That’s enough for me. I don’t need a lot of friends and family.
 
My sis and I have just had a 1 hour conversation...and despite all the things we may not be in in total sync about, we always rounder back to the things that are most important. I just agree with her all the time to reinforce family peace...and she has no idea that I am that condescending...but the thing that binds us is love.
