I went downtown to get coffee today with a childhood hockey friend who’s about to leave for college. When we said “we’ll stay in touch, see you at Christmas!” I had no doubts this would be true. We stopped into a little shop on church street where I picked up postcards to send to a friend of mine in Denver and one in New Zealand. The morning sun and temperature were perfect, and on the drive home I found myself feeling grateful for the place I’m from, and for friendships that endure across continents and across decades.
