I have good friends

Had dinner tonight with my good friend from business school, L, who took me home from the hospital, among other things.

She's just lovely. She's deep and caring and fierce and good. She's honest and real. It's something I find I'm looking for in people in my life these days. Not that every moment needs to be a soulful exchange, but they have to have the capacity to have one. People who know what it is to be honest about fears and vulnerabilities and who know the other side will treat those things with supreme gentleness and understanding.

We drank margaritas, and then did a tequila sampler. And talked about everything going on in our lives openly and honestly. I'm glad she's in my life.
