I have several friends who live out of state. I rarely see them and our
friendships, which used to be so intimate, have grown distant. While we all
want to stay in touch, life often prevents us from doing so minus the texts and
Facebook status updates we trade—and even those are less frequent then we’d like. Our friendships seem reduced to
100-word impersonal musings and memes about husbands, kids and milestones
and/or the annual girls’ night or weekend.
