Friendship is that check-in text out of the blue.
It is the birthday present from a quick trip to Walgreens or the long conversation about Janet Jackson's nipple at the Superbowl.
It is the showing up without announcing yourself, but bringing a growler of BuckleDown and an Alpine sub.
Friendship is calling your friend's mom and thanking her for bringing their child into the world to become your friend.
It is knowing when to speak and when to sit quietly and listen.
It is shared memory of cold opening days at Sox Park and watching parents fade away.
Friendship is knowing all the stupid shit and still supporting one another.
A true friend shines brightly when the world is dark.
If you are someone's friend... remind them that today is National Sweater Day and to leave that ugly one from 1994 in the drawer.
Friendship is for sharing gusto and astonishment.
Happy Birthday B.H..
