Sitting With Your Best Friend

What are you doing? Just sitting. May I come sit? Sure, if you don’t talk. I ran right over there. We sat in silence. I heard a grasshopper,, a mosquito, and a bee. I remained notably silent. Sitting with a friend is an honor. I was not going to ruin the opportunity. Sitting with your best friend is a gift. I did not appreciate this gift half as much as I should have until after he was permanently gone.
