Beautiful writing as always! And such an important message. take the trip, call the friend, eat the donut. And I am so glad I read this after the Zoom call this past week and got to "meet" Jennifer and Clare virtually. Now I know even more about these cool ladies. You are all so inspiring. Also, shout out for the Vermont 100 story......

❤️❤️ This post is so dear to me, and I will be saving it. Though I confess it makes me even MORE bummed out about getting sick and not being able to do the full run or hang out with you. 😞 (As I sit here on Wednesday I’m still totally congested, sneezing, and coughing, so I know I did the right thing in dialing back, but it still sucks.) Thank you so much for traveling all the way here and honoring Keith so well. I keep wishing he could’ve seen the people who gathered, or heard their fond words in memory of him. He could be a difficult person to know, and I don’t think he ever realized how much his close friends really cared for him. It’s such a reminder to tell the people we love how we feel and be there for them (when we’re not contagious - ugh!). And so: I love you my dear friend. Thank you for this post and for always being a part of my life, even when you’re miles away.
