Friendship.


The kind that lingers through town with you, and laughs over insignificant things; that is there when the floor needs sweeping, noses need wiping, knees need bandaging; the kind that will fly a great distance to have coffee with you, dinner, a day out. It's the kind that goes with you to the hospital when your child has been diagnosed, when there are no words, when the world suddenly seems bigger, emptier, meaningless; and that friendship sits beside you and offers you a peanut butter cup.
