I received this card from a very dear sister friend with a tiny present inside. Cards being sent is almost an unheard of gesture in this busy technology generated world we live. It brought a tear to my eye for many reasons. First she doesn't live nearby anymore and our time together is basically phone calls or text messages. People who can call for coffee or go out on a lunch date on a moments notice are extremely lucky. I do not get that luxury much anymore. When I called to thank her for the thoughtful gift the two hour plus phone call wasn't long enough. Life just gets in the way. Even as we get older. When you can find someone who you can share things without it going any further is a true blessing.
I have found actually that it seems in my life I have more acquaints than truly close friends. She has listened to so much of my troubles and I her that sometimes I think we could write a book and possibly make money off of it. It would either be a great mystery or a human tragedy but by writing standards probably a terrific read.
At a time in life where it seems like life is so precious I hope that we can maintain even from miles away our special relationship.
