My friends have shown me so much good-heartedness, and now with this news, I found myself wondering how I’ve shown my gratitude for them, and how I’ve returned their kindness.

There has been a familiar, recognizable rhythm to the lives of my male friends, a rhythm that goes back 50 years

As a way to protect myself from my past, I had let the memories of our friendship fade.

What if your friend seems to have come to a roadblock in their journey of life? What can you say or do, when they tell you something like, “there’s no hope, nothing’s working for me.”

I believe that true friends can disagree and still support one another overall

Somewhere across the years, however – sometime during that melancholic and hard and, I suppose, necessary process that we call growing up – most of us lose the ability to make friends with such rapidity and such ease. We became cautious, guarded, reserved.
