I met up w/Brad and Val at Sam Woo in Rowland Heights for dim sum this morning. You really can’t beat the three of us stuffing our faces with delicious Chinese food and having the total bill come out to $23. Afterwards, I forced them to drive all the way to The Block at Orange and we walked around, let our food digest, had overpriced Italian gelato, people-watched, chatted, and then after Brad gave me a bag of lychee, they left to begin their long drive home.
I wish I had friends like them who live closer to me. 🙁
But I’m so glad I met them this summer. Thanks. 🙂
I realise I may not make so much of an effort to hang out often enough to close friends who live closer to me. This is sad. But I also believe distance will not make the bonding of friendship apart. Just speaking of my own mind, may not be true. *shrug*
I agree. At my best friend’s funeral, I was expressing my guilt and regret to my best friend’s husband at not having called as often as I could have, at not having flown to NY to visit as often as I could have. He told me, “I’ve asked Grace before, ‘Who’s your best friend? You have Diane who calls you every day, and this person and that person you hang out with.’ Without hesitating, she said, ‘Cindy.’ So it did not make any difference to her that you weren’t around as much. Don’t worry about it.”
