– Now it looks like “Hey, why don’t y’all grab lunch and come hang out while the baby naps?”
– Now it looks like quick little chats in the aisles at Target.
– Now it looks like “Girl, I know. I’ve been there too, and it is so hard. I’m here for you.”
– Now it looks like Marco Polo messages and Snapchat pictures and tagging each other in memes on Facebook.
– Now it looks like “I dropped off a cup of coffee and a box of cookies on your front porch.”
– Now it looks like “I’ll come, but only if I can wear stretchy pants.”
– Now it looks like “I’m not free until 2026.”
– Now it looks like “I miss you” and meaning it with your whole heart.
Whatever you have to do, however you have to do it — make time for your friendships. Squeeze in phone dates and play dates and dinner dates as often as possible. Don’t push it off. Don’t push them off. Make time for the people who feel like home.
