I never know what I’m going to write about before I start writing, and before I set down the title of today’s entry I had no idea that I would write about something so intimate and yet so universal. It began when I spoke with a friend I ran into that I had forgotten existed, and she too forgot that I had been involved in her life. And she had changed so much in the time since we met that we would never be able to connect again. At least not as we were.

And there are so many of us who are disappearing – losing connections that were important in our lives but have forgotten that we exist, just as we may have forgotten them. When we could have helped each other through so many of our challenges in the past 18 months. Let’s try not to disappear from each other – we need to stay together.

Even if we have nothing to say to each other, because nothing has happened today, we really need to keep the channels open. We need each other.
