Week 13: The Memoir Writer and Old Friend

Almost everyone has a long-lost friend. Someone special from your youth with whom you lost touch and don't know why. People say "life got in the way". But why? Why did I let that happen, especially with someone whom I liked so much?

Happily, my old friend and I recently reconnected. And boy, had we missed a lot in each other's lives! My friend just completed writing her memoir, and she shared the draft manuscript with me.

What an honor, to be brought back into her life so deeply that she wanted me to read the draft and tell her my thoughts on it. Her writing is beautiful and unique, and I hope her story gets published.

Needless to say, we're caught up with each other now...although I certainly don't have the past 25 years of my life written down!

I'm so thankful we are in touch again. And I'm particularly grateful that she trusted me with her manuscript. All those years we missed, yet somehow we are still good friends. Lucky me.
