So the other day, I caught up with an old friend, S. I saw her posting about something near and dear to my heart (cooking with an air fryer), asking for advice and help.
I’m a big fan of those things, and do a lot of cooking with the ones we have. (Yes, plural.)
So I pinged her, and we got a video chat going.
She and I have been good, loving friends for a long, long time. She’s someone I see at events, one in particular. But we don’t live close to one another, and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen her in person in the past five years.
But I adore her. And she adores me. So I video called, and we caught up. And it was glorious. We expressed our mutual affection and feelings of connection for one another, caught up about our lives, and doubled down on why we feel so fondly for one another.
It was good.
