With friends, ours is to accept, to encourage, to champion—but not to reinvent or reimagine.

It's their life to lead, and our choice to linger in the grace of their company, as long as they'll have us.

"Do you see me...like I see you? Do you see me? Can't believe the things we ask for, can't believe the things we want! Do you see more than I do? Do you see more than I do?!"
