Shanti Brien's beautiful reflection on her 40-year friendship with Trish, who passed away. Shanti explores the bittersweet reality of their deep connection—filled with shared memories and adventures—yet marked by emotional boundaries they never fully crossed. Through moments from middle school notes to late-night dancing, she reminds us that true friendship isn't about perfection but about bearing witness to each other's lives. It's a gentle nudge for all of us to cherish and perhaps be more open with the companions who walk alongside us.
