An old friend made a surprise visit to the clinic I work at today & I almost bearhugged & tackled her in glee. I say "almost" because I decided to maintain what little known decorum I have left at work & instead offered her enthusiastic high-tens.
Seeing her again after so long made me realize the value of all my relationships, & made me realise how dysfunctional I would be without the little exchanges of laughter & soul between ourselves in the air.
I have very few favorite people in this world. Knowing that they/we won't all be here forever makes me want to bearhug & tackle them all into the ground with so much asteroidal force & permanence that palaeontologists have to excavate our entwined fossils.
