These friends of mine are the real gems in my life.
Another friend died last week—though my heartache was for the friend of mine closest to him, not my own—and it brings up all the old feelings of love and loss stemming from JB’s death (9 years ago in April). It was from losing my best friend that I began to focus on developing deep, wonderful friendships … replacement best friends, if you will. And in California, I have found some absolute gems of friends (mostly tall brunettes). So grateful for them today, and every day.
The new year is already glittering.
