Caught up with a very close childhood friend this week. He later texted this quote to me. I’ve never watched Star Wars, but this quote hits hard.
“A friend need not be kept either within sight or within reach. A friend must be allowed the freedom to find and follow his own path. If one is fortunate, those paths will for a time join.
But if the paths separate, it is comforting to know that a friend still graces the universe with his skills, and his viewpoint, and his presence.
For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone.”
