Friendship is something we expect to be simple and easy, often it's not
Photo-Illustration: The Cut; Photo: Getty I have a confession to make: I’m your annoying friend. The one who sends too many texts, the one who shows up at your house unannounced, the one who is way too eager about planning a dinner party at some point in the distant future when we all go to dinner parties again.
Last month, my son had to go to the ICU following a scooter accident. He’s fine now, thank God, but it was definitely one of those moments where your heart stops and your world feels like it might never be the same. In the midst of the chaos of the accident, my husband, Nick, and I immediately texted a friend to come take our toddler daughter for the night so we could both be at the hospital.
And when we were in the hospital with my son, they all showed up in their own essential, impromptu ways. So now I do put in more effort than maybe I should. I’m not saying this to pat myself on the back. I’m saying it because we need to recognize the work. Because I realize that what I do may seem a little extra, but it’s all worth it. Not just because I know these women will come to my aid when I’m stuck in the hospital, but because I know that I need this kind of camaraderie to stay sane in a world that often feels like it’s burning down around me.
