The Elephant in the Room

I talked to Kendall tonight, he's one of the funniest people I know and the only person who's gotten us both kicked out of a maternity ward(!), and I'm glad he's back. Of course, a lot of our conversation focused on the crazy stuff we did "in the good old days." At one point, we were both marvelling that everyone in our group turned out well and that it's astounding that we all made it solidly into our mid-20s. And as soon as it was out of our mouths, though, we remembered that not everyone made it.

It amazes me that talking to a good friend can make me so happy and so sad at the same time. The one thing we both agreed on: you don't get a group of friends like we had more than once. And even then it was a damn miracle.

All the same, I'm so grateful he turned up again. And I know Keith is glad to have him back too.
