On Friendship

Do you have friendships that you can simply pick back up, no matter how much time has passed? You get each other on some deeper level; you could talk hourly or monthly, and the bond is still there. I’m so blessed to have just such a friend–Karen. We’ve been friends since fifth grade, through thick and thin, our parents’ marriages and divorces, high school, college, our own marriages, children. She’s a fantastic at being a friend, so it didn’t surprise me at all when her seven year old son Vincent shaved his head in solidarity with his own friend, who has leukemia.

Pretty awesome, huh? The story was picked up by the local TV station, and quickly spread: USA Today, the Telegraph, NBC News, and hundreds more. Vincent and Zac have been on the radio and had national TV offers. Isn’t that amazing?

Anyway. I just wanted to brag on Vin. He’s truly one of the kindest, most polite kids I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. It speaks volumes of his parents!
