Not sure what to call this thread

Ali, you double fucking bitch, and I mean that in the kindest possible way....

Brace yourself. Sitting down? Though it kills me to say it (and contradicts my salutation and erodes your street cred), you're... normal. There, I said it.

Of course it's not the occasion of the sporting matches that cause your "outburst". You named it right when you said your friend is important to you and that you missed her. I leave the assessment of "neglectful" to you, I don't have any way to judge that. I do know that I also have friendships that have or have had long periods of idleness. I hold those people close in my heart despite the gulf of time and space that separates us. I know the acuteness of feeling when we connect again. This makes me happy, it makes me happy to hear you burst into tears, because I see those as tears of happiness. The life giving rain that ends the drought of separation between you and your friend.

I don't know what to call this thread either, but it does have happy news in it.
