Having recently just left one phenomenal community and moved 1200 miles away, I find myself weekly struggling to maintain those precious connections in the South. We walked through life moments together, and I would not be who I am today without their love in my life. There have been times when it was necessary to break ties - for my own health and the health of my family. Thankfully those are few, but even in those situations God worked to mold me into a more mature and loving person. Those were interesting questions for me to ponder.

Actually you've inspired me to go dig out an old address book and see if I still have an address for one friend in particular. And for what it's worth, a book tour sounds horrendous to me, I totally agree that time spent with people that matter in places you belong are much more fun.
