Your friends will be the people that you turn to when your heart has been broken, your job sucks, or you don't know what to do next. Sometimes you will need them to listen, and sometimes you will need them to tell you to suck it up and move on.
Your friends will be the people to help you celebrate the best parts of your life. They will be there when you see your first boob, hit your first home run, get engaged, and stand up for you in your wedding.
Your best friends will be the people that you might not see for a period of time, but when you are together it is like you saw them last week. The same stories you have told for years will seem as awesome as the time when it originally happened. This will drive your wife nuts, but hopefully she will be as understanding as your mom is. Who doesn't want to hear the stories about blowing up snow drifts with Lanky's fireworks again?
Just remember that there is only one thing more important than your friends, and that is your family. If you play your cards right, your friends will become as close to family as you can get. That is when you know you have done it right.
PS. Dad can be your friend too, but I can't tell you those stories until much later in life.
