Rekindling friendships. Pushing chairs back together. Sitting next to and near my lifelong friends. Hugging and laughing and seeing smiles. Grateful beyond measure for vaccines.

A Big Friendship can hold you when you’re worried that everything else is falling apart. It can be a space of validation when you feel alone in the world. It can provide the relief of feeling seen without having to explain yourself in too many words. And it offers the security of knowing that you won’t have to go through life’s inevitable challenges alone.
