friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
The Dime and the Glass Door
Every time I walked into my grandpa's automotive shop as a kid, I needed a dime. Not a quarter. Not a dollar. A dime. That was the price of admission to the best part of the whole building, and I knew it before I knew how to tie my shoes right.

The Night the Beads Never Moved
He still tells it the same way every time someone asks about their mother’s last Christmas. She asked for the Rosary, he says. Right after the dishes were done. She was in the chair by the window with the old afghan across her lap. She looked at both of us and said we should pray before she got too tired. So we did. All five decades of the Joyful Mysteries. She held the beads herself for the first two. Her hands shook, but she kept going. When they finished she touched his hand, then his sister’s, and told them to take care of each other. After that she closed her eyes for a little while. When she opened them she asked if anyone wanted more coffee. Ordinary. Peaceful. The way he needs the night to have ended.

The Last Time We Saw Each Other
There are people who remember an argument for the rest of their lives, not because of what was said, but because of what they believe happened afterward. Paul and I have never agreed on the afternoon we stopped being friends. He says I humiliated him in front of a room full of people. I say he humiliated himself, and that I spent the better part of an hour trying to keep him from making things worse. Twenty-three years have passed, and neither of us has changed his account. The older we get, the more convinced we seem to become that the other one has invented an entirely different afternoon.

The Last Christmas Eve
He always starts the story the same way. She asked for the Rosary that night, he says. Right after we finished the dishes. She was sitting in the old chair by the window, the one with the crocheted afghan. She looked at both of us and said, Let’s pray before I get too tired. And we did. All five decades of the Joyful Mysteries. She held the beads herself for the first two decades. Her hands were shaking, but she kept going.

Love or Infatuation - How Do You Know?
Question: How would you describe your feelings when you tell someone you love them? I cannot find words that I feel are strong enough to describe the feelings I have. I tell my husband ‘I love you’ and he says ‘Prove it!’. How do you prove it?
