More musings on friendship

Looking forward this evening to catching up with my friend Gillian who will be staying with me for a couple of days. Most of my close friends and my family live quite some distance away from me and so I don’t get to see them anywhere near as often as I would like to (especially given that being on call means that anywhere that is more than an hour’s drive from work is too far unless I am on holiday or on a day off). I miss being able to see the people I care about on a regular basis.
