Friendship

"Friendship: A Precious Reminder"

A long-time friend of mine came into town today, and we had such a wonderful time reconnecting. We laughed, shared intimate stories about where we are in life, and even dreamed together about where we’d like to be.

It reminded me once again not to take for granted the people who already know you, understand you, and have been part of your journey.

There’s something truly special about being with someone you’ve missed. The laughter, the joy, the effortless syncing—it’s a bond that doesn’t require explanations. It’s the kind of connection that feels like coming home.

And as if to bless this reunion, it rained—for the first time this year. While on the bus, I stretched my hand out into the rain, as if to grab hold of the blessings pouring down. I wanted to savor it all—the moment, the memories, and the joy of being fully present.

Our day was filled with adventure. From playing virtual games and racing cars to visiting a haunted house (where my adrenaline shot up!), every moment felt alive. We ended the day perfectly—sitting out, eating, talking, walking, and letting time stretch just a little longer.
