Losing a Best Friend

I remember being at a family party a few years ago, and my aunt (who was around 75 at the time) was telling me about a cruise she & my uncle went on.

“It was so much fun! We traveled with our very dear friends, we’ve known them for 25 years, and we all got along so well and had a great time!”

Quick math — they’ve been very dear friends since they were 50 years old.

It may not soften the blow right now, but life is (hopefully) a long and fruitful journey. And you’re even allowed to make friends at age 50…or later.
