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.

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.
