Here's to the long distance friendships

The ones with the long gaps in the calendar that feel like they’ve been tiny gaps when you’re together.

The shared stories so precious that they’ve become solid ground beneath your feet, adventure maps that always help you find your way home.

The voice notes from hundreds of miles away spoken right into the room, right into your circumstances.

The knowledge that you are held in mind and heart…. known.

The wisdom brought through the gift of someone who is ‘zoomed out’ of the situation and yet alongside you in it.

Far away but holding you very, very near.
