Despite our differences, despite some moments where we saw each other thinking differently, we always found a way to be okay, and she has been a pillar for me. Because of her I have been able to face many things of fate and today I realize that you value that person more when you are not close to them, so you miss them more. I was once far away from her, now she sees more distance between us again and how she tells me she feels the gap.

“So how come you were both long distance?” “Ah, well he was in the forces and had many postings and I was a schoolteacher so couldn’t travel with him across the world. We didn’t have all this high technology back in my day, we had to rely on phone calls once a week due to the costs and saw each other only once a month, if we were lucky. Sometimes I wouldn’t get to see him for as long as eight or ten weeks at a time. But we always loved each other and trusted each other. That my Dear is the key. Trust, love, friendship.”

Anne watched her daughter quietly, then reached over to squeeze her hand. “I’m really proud of you,” she said. “You stood by your best friend during one of the hardest times of her life.

They began visiting their favorite places intentionally. The café they loved. The park where the kids learned to ride bikes.
