Something like friendship

[cjsmith]

Someone from FB noticed I had gone silent and reached out to check in and say hello.

I didn't think that was possible. I'm genuinely impressed.

And touched. I'm dangerously close to shedding a tear, here, and I swore I was done with that.

If you're reading this, you know who you are: next time we are in the same zip code I shall buy you a drink and toast you with my own glass.

That was right decent of them.

Wasn't it? The kind of thing I don't at all expect, out of the blue. Lovely.

that's pretty awesome! always nice to feel your presence is appreciated.

It is! Stunningly rare, and all the sweeter when it happens. One person out of maybe a thousand (I forget) cared enough to notice and ask. It's one of those "yeah I have hope for humanity yet" kinds of moments.
