Today brought the pleasure of having lunch with my college roommate, Harriet. We talked fast and furious and barely allowed time to leave the room. I loved being together.

This quote sums it up:

Because of a friend, life is a little stronger, fuller, more gracious thing for the friend's existence, whether he be near or far. If the friend is close at hand, that is best; but if he is far away he still is there to think of, to wonder about, to hear from, to write to, to share life and experience with, to serve, to honor, to admire, to love.

Arthur Christopher Benson

We plan to make lunch together a monthly occasion.
