Dear dear friend

Dear dear friend,

Thank you for calling and remembering that you can call me anytime about anything. Thank you for gently reminding me of something I forgot to do the day before. Thank you for asking how I'm doing. Thank you for listening to my long-winded story about someone else I also care very much about but whom you've never met. Thank you for sharing your deep pain, an episode you know I wish I could erase for you. Thank you for accepting those well-worn, but hopeful, words of "It'll be better tomorrow," when we both know we have no idea if that really will be the case. Thank you for knowing that I'll be there for you whenever you need me or just somebody.

Thank you for being a dear, dear friend.

Love, Monica
