Ashley and Mike are moving about an hour away from us this weekend. We've been so used to seeing them every weekend that it's a sad change. A good one, for them, but sad regardless. My relationships with my friends are so important. They're my family. When Emily died, I felt like I would never have that connection to another person ever again. Thankfully, I have a close handful of ones I love so much who stepped in and they give me a place to put that need for connection, regardless of how far away they are. I've had to remove a few friendships in my life and it's never easy letting go of someone I've known a long time. Sometimes, it's just exhausting trying to be a lighthouse for someone who would prefer to stay lost at sea. Meanwhile, Ashley and I have made plans for our families to get together one more time Friday, and from there we will see how to go about getting together as often as we can.
