something to be said

There's something to be said about restarting a relationship with someone after many long years have passed and finding out that that other person is even MORE interesting and challenging and fun than you remember.

There's something to be said about someone who can read you like a book and makes you answer questions about youself you'd rather not.

There's something to be said about someone who will share with you their answers to those very same questions, even though they might not want to.

There's something to be said about someone who will stay up with you wayyyyy too late because you ask them to because you don't see them often enough and want to make the most of the time you have.

There's something to be said about someone who makes you think you're young again, and interesting, and funny, and OK.

There's something to be said about someone who laughs with you, praises your children, doesn't ask for lavish entertainment, looks you in the eye when they talk with you, and has a firm grip on their own reality so you can get a grasp on yours, if only for a minute.

There's something to be said, and that something is "thanks."

Thanks for everything. Let's do it again soon.
