A beautiful Sunday morning with sunshine and a warm cup of coffee after a
great night’s sleep. Doesn’t get any better.
The typical morning is to catch up on social media on current events,
when I see this family selfie. Along with the family are two friends.
It just struck me strange and I don’t know why.
I’ve known both of these people since high school. One friend married friends
of another friend right out of high school. The other friend was my other
brother in high school. Lost track of both friends for years until the Internet
reconnected us. Both had families and houses and lives and both lost spouses. That
is about all I know about them.
Was I jealous? No, not really. Was I envious? Maybe just a bit. Was I
happy for them? Absolutely.
Now I am only assuming things because they were together at a recent
party and have posted statements on social media that indicate…. But what do I
know? I can only speculate.
There are all kinds of friends. There are family friends and best friends
and boy/girl friends. There are sports friends and movie friends and foodie
friends. There are friends who attended your wedding and there are friends who
help you move the body.
Friends come and go and some last forever.
I don’t know much about either of these friends but they still seem good
people to me.
So if a friend has another friend who is more than a friend, all the
best.

Wow, Clyph. Who was your other brother in high school? Yes it me, Mike that sent this.
When we were young, pairings came and went. These days it's a lot more rare, and we give it a lot more thought. But it's still a wonderful thing.
Companionship is important to some. Independence is important to others.
I'm the other brother, Mike.
