Friends

I met with a friend for a drink tonight--she is a wonderful person, and one of the reasons moving out of state will be very hard. She is also going through a huge amount of stress in her life right now, and I wish I could be more present for her, instead of wrapped up in my own moving stuff. Talking with her put me in mind of another friend I have here who will be painful to leave. Then I started thinking about friends I've had at past locations, and thought about my track record of keeping in touch with those friends, as I always whole-heartedly intend to do.

Pretty good, but not so good as I'd like.
