I only have one childhood friend that I talk to weekly/biweekly. There were three of us, but one passed away two years ago. We were all best friends since the 7th grade and our birthdays are/were a day apart (the 18th, 19th, and 20th).
I have other childhood/high school friends that I talk to and hang out with when I visit home, we don't really talk on the phone regularly, but the love is still there. One's stepdad died today. I called her and I plan to visit her family next week when I go home. We are good enough friends that I would still be willing to help in anyway that they needed (including financially...which they likely won't) as they prepare for the funeral.
I still have the same three good college girl friends, and gf from my teaching days. None of us live in the same city. Therefore, these are the people that I vacation with (within the last year I celebrated one of their bday in NO, one bday in NYC, and went on a cruise with the other one).
I have been blessed with the type of friends that even if we don't talk every day/week, no love is lost. We all understand that we are adults who have our own lives.
How many do you have?
