Quote of the day: Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble,
at a touch, nay, you may kick it all about all day like a football, and it will
be round and full at evening. ~Oliver Wendell
Holmes
That's what friends do. Glad you were there to support and comfort.
ReplyDeleteThe back and forth bouncing of the verbs portrays well the emotions of a complicated situation. I wish it would have ended with a laugh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to capture a difficult time. I also love the "bouncing of the verbs," but especially the pause and turning point I felt in the middle when the two of you were silent.
ReplyDeleteSo few words convey such depth.
ReplyDeleteSuch power in few words - and friendship.
ReplyDeleteThe give and take of relationships and the importance of trust. I like how you paired the poem and quote. Perfect. Sounds like you both deserve lots of hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautifully written.
ReplyDeleteI love that we don't know exactly what this is about, but can still connect with it emotionally. Such strong writing. So few word and so much emotion- beautiful!
