At 4.25 you can really hear how much she means it, she is so moved by it. Thanks for sharing that R2. It was nice to listen to something like this, among the midst of christmas shopping and crowds and spending and worrying. Puts it into perspective. x |

Frank, I've seen your pictures and you are way too hairy to be a girlfriend. Srsly, it is moving, isn't it? My neighbor just sent it to me. Captures a lot of my life. |

That crosses gender lines. Substitute a word here and there and she's talking about male long term friendships also. Thanks for sharing good start to a dark and dreary day. |

VPG -- you're right. My husband has a group of friends like that. Details and adjectives are different, but the idea is the same. |

Yeah, taht was beautiful, thanks R2. I can see why you're impressed by the writing - there were several meaningul thoughts per sentence over the whole thing, and for all that it still flowed perfectly. |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

And, as a good writer does, she captured what so many have thought or experienced but never said. |
