...

One thing invades my mind when I read these numbers.

Despair.

I'd never done the research till today. 

I was curious.

"Maybe..."
I let myself succumb to that dreadful thought. 

I've brought up this subject before.

And I've beat this subject over the head multiple times.

But it's something that continues to rear it's ugly head.

And I just can't find a cure.

But I came to realize something recently.

I'm a pretty lucky guy.

Lucky enough to have friends that are worth the distance.

If they weren't worth it, I wouldn't put myself through this.
I'd just say,

"It's too much. I'll let them go and feel better."

But that's not the case.



I'm lucky enough to say I have friends who

live all around the world.

I'm lucky enough to say that I have friends who

I can talk to.

I'm lucky enough to say I have friends who

I care about.



And for that, I'm willing to put up with the distance.
For that, I'm willing to take a day and wallow in that despair.
For that, I'm willing to accept that there isn't a cure.

 Thanks guys.

Thanks for making the distance worth it.
