And I’m so glad we showed up.ĭriving by her house and seeing her cry and smile in surprise and joy was so worth it. I wanted to be there for my friend because she graduated from college, and celebrating her trumps feeling tired any day. After 5 minutes of debating, I told Max that we had to leave our place by 12:30 p.m. Again I found myself playing the “should I cancel or not” game. The idea of showering, applying makeup, hopping in the car, and gathering with a group of people to drive by my friend’s home felt really overwhelming.
