What about the everyday. The mundane. When there’s no grief or celebration or funerals. Everyone always talks about events and showing up for events. But most of life isn’t big events. It’s the mundane. And that’s the space where relationships fade. Everyone misses this.
I respectfully disagree. Our elders taught me that friendship is showing up. Funerals, weddings, hospital visits, celebrations, grief. Not because it was convenient, but because community matters.
