We knew that the Grand Rapids season was singular, never to be repeated. But I don’t think we knew the life and force and influence these friendships would have beyond that season. I don’t think we knew that when we see each other a few times a year, there would still be that trust and honesty and love, that we would still care about each other in so many ways and understand each other so well, even across the distance and the time zones and the life changes.
