Anna said I’m in town, lets hang.

She’s a magical person so i said sure, when where.

She said I’m crashing with jeff and Erin so i said i dont even know where that is.

She said aren’t you alive? Haven’t you all been friends since the 80s? I said yes but when you have kids and dogs and lives you dont always break bread with each other and dont they live very far away up in the hills?

Turns out even in rush hour traffic they live 37 minutes away.

Ben and Soomi drove all the way up from Long Beach and we sat in the backyard under the biggest tree, we pet the best dogs, and shared so many stories.

FIVE HOURS and it went by like that.

Such good food. So many great tales. No one judged me as far as i can tell

If anything they said they loved me.

And loved my perspective.

I was all, awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I love my friends so much.

I am so lucky to have known them for most of my life.

I hope i bring them a smile once in a while because they put the happiness in my heart whenever i am around them.
