Best Friend Quotes
Best friends send a “check in-text” to see if you need an excuse to end your date early. They show up with seven-up and movies when you are sick, and they don’t give up shopping until you have found the perfect wedding dress. True friends hang out after your party and help you clean up and do the dishes. BFFs show up with meals after your baby is born, and they offer to take your toddler to the park when they know you need a break.
No matter our age, or our stage in life, true friends can make such a huge difference in both our happiness and the ability to get through the hard and sad times in our life. I have gathered up some of my favorite best friends forever quotes aka bff quotes and sayings.
Some are deep, famous quotes and some are just sweet sentimental sayings for your bestie. You will find some cute best friend quotes, some funny best friend quotes, and possibly some friendship memory quotes that make you cry. I hope you will be able to use these words in creative ways to tell your best friends how much of a blessing they are in your life, and just to say thank you for being there.
