Friendships, Moving, and the Kindness of God
Saying “see you later” doesn’t make saying “good-bye” easier. For me, the worst part of moving is leaving friends behind, not knowing when you will see them again.

This girl of mine left several close friends behind in Virginia; girls she has known most of her life.Continue reading “Friend-ed”
