This is a low stakes example, but I was so honored when the school nurse at my friend’s kid’s school called me out-of-the-blue to pick up her daughter. The nurse couldn’t reach my friend, her husband or her father-in-law. I started a group text with information and a plan and was in the car to get the kid when my friend got out of her client session and handled it herself. I felt so trusted to be their non-family contact!
I enjoyed that David Sedaris piece too - the “friendly bachelor”. . . 🤣
I hold a special spot for the friend who showed up to Presbyterian Lower Manhattan when I was held for 8 hrs for pre-term labor. My husband couldn't make it, and it was such a relief to have a friendly face with me in the room.
