At one point in my life that person would have been my younger brother and because of our closely shared lives he still "gets me" but is thousands of miles away and distance presents obstacles to updated connections for us. I am fortunate to have a large circle of friends and those most connected ones are people who have shared time and space together in fun times and in adversity. For many of us the connections work well enough to pick up where we left off, days, months, or even years ago. The most meaningful connections need to be nurtured and mutually supported for growth and for going the distance IMO. That most connected person in my life is my partner, spouse, friend and companion going on 41 years together, my wife. Thanks for the thread and opportunity to reflect and make that tribute.
