Female Friendship and Loyalty.... Do you have a friendship like Rizzoli & Isles?

>
Despite their many differences, Rizzoli & Isles are best friends with a peculiar and compassionate relationship. As exec-producer Janet Tamaro explains, "There's something rare about their relationship that I see in the world but not enough on television: two smart, strong, competent women who instinctively drop the protective shield when they're with each other."

I think in my adult years I have one friendship that is somewhat close to this.  When I moved to where I live now, I left all my family and friends 900 miles away.  I was fortunate that my husbands good friend had a great girlfriend that shared a lot of the same interests as I did.  We hit it off well.  It has now been over eleven years and we are still great friends.  Like Rizzoli & Isles we have a similar background in jobs.  Although like them, we both have had different jobs.  They are similar and we can talk to each other and get advice on the jobs from each other.  Now we both have children and can get advice from each other about our personal lives.  I also love how Rizzoli & Isles get involved with each other's families in a way.  I have found that being able to be close or relate to your friend's family really helps in a friendship.  My friend MaryAnn and I are that way.  Her family has let me in, and my family has let her in. Our family members are always asking about the other's and their children.  It really is nice and really helps during hard times.

Through the years we have gotten closer and closer.  With that closeness brings times where you do start to see the differences too, which sometimes ends up in arguments.  Like Rizzoli & Isles we work through those times of disagreement and I think that makes our friendship stronger.  We also are like them that we can just laugh at each others quirky differences.  Which one of us is Isles wearing heals to work, and which one is Rizzoli and always a bit on edge?  Who knows....but the friendships work and that is all that matters!
