Friendship. It’s a bitch.
Just had a great dinner with Dave and Kristie and their two daughters. Adorable by the way. I miss my friends. Don’t get me wrong, I love Charlotte, best place I’ve ever lived. And it’s sad that D&K are the only friends I have left in my hometown - Jeff went to Pittsburgh, Tim is in Hilton Head, Karl reportedly is in Madison, WI, I just found Eric in Raleigh recently (we’re gonna have to get together) and Dale is in Las Vegas. So it’s not like Maumee has this strong pull - it’s just great to be able to fall back into this easy camraderie that comes so naturally, so effortlessly because these people know you so well. I miss that. And it doesn’t hurt that their kids are about the same age as mine. Watching Erin play with Kacie and Maya was awesome. The best was after Maya and Erin had accidentally let their balloons float out-of-reach to the ceiling, Kacie let her’s go on purpose. I’d like to see that more than once a year. Hell I’d like to see all of them more than once a year. I’ve got friends in Charlotte but nobody compares to the friends I made in high school. I miss all you guys.
