I am very moved reading this. This text is the most beautiful proof that friendship exists. You are very lucky to have each other, more than friends, you are brothers. I am also lucky to have a friend with whom I have over 40 years of friendship. I raise a toast to that upcoming meeting in September. May the anecdotes and beautiful things multiply. Hugs.🫂
Thank you Nancy! We actually call each other "brother". That's wonderful you still have a friend from childhood. I'm still connected to several people I grew up with on social media but we aren't close friends. It's still nice to keep caught up on their lives, even if it's vicariously.
I hope we can make Chicago happen next September! I've done the thing Juan is doing, I moved from Ohio to Minnesota in 1995. It's so much more difficult and expensive than people realize so we'll have to see. If nothing else there's always the option of me visiting him in DC. I wish you a wonderful rest of your week!
