For many of us, childhood friendships are a special part of growing up. We spend endless hours playing outside, sharing secrets, and dreaming about the future with the kids who live down the street or sit next to us in class. However, as the years pass, life often takes us in different directions. Some friends drift away, while others remain in our hearts but are no longer part of our daily lives. Only a small number of those friendships survive the test of time, making the ones that do truly priceless.
This group of friends reminds us how wonderful lifelong connections can be. Reddit users magnumopos and downwarddawg shared a series of photos that capture the evolution of their friendship through the years. The pictures were taken at ages 10, 17, and 29, showing the same group together at different stages of life. Even though only three photos were posted, they represent more than just snapshots—they symbolize over two decades of shared laughter, support, and memories.

At 29 years old, they’re still the best of friends. Lifetime friends…
