#9........an old friend...

An old friend visited today. I really wanted him to. He was part of the struggle of the first year. We're in our third. He provided a ton of support that first year. He claims I always knew what to do, he just pointed out certain things. To me, he was a source of Yoda-like information, someone who kept pushing me, often when I felt like I was failing, to keep honing the message, keep trying to refine things, keep trying to keep people on point. I've missed him and the honest exchange he brought. So I wanted him to visit. For me, it's step up or step aside time. I'm impatient that way.
