How long have you known them?

I speak of my friend Jane, whom I have known for 43 or so years. I will have coffee with her Saturday. Today I had brunch with Beth. I have not seen her in thirty years. She has moved around some. We have known each other for fifty years. It was good to catch up. I think we need to hold on to friends as long and strongly as we can. It helps when we are going through tough times. Her husband is also ill. Not as ill, in some ways, as Bob. Or at least not as confused. Bob had a rough night last night. Had a fever, or had his heated bed too hot, anyway, it was not easy. I am tired from that as well. I will go to bed very soon, and stay home tomorrow.
