With a friend at your side no road seems too long
A Japanese proverb, according to the birthday card I just bought for a friend of mine.
She’s the ex-girlfriend with the eating issues, which I think I mentioned here a while ago. I find it quite difficult to be as supportive as I should be of her, as she lives miles away, and it’s been a year since we finished.
I called the other day for a good chat, but you could still tell that things were a touch awkward. It’s her birthday this week, and I intend to write her a big long letter inside the card about everything between us.
