“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” – Walter Winchell

I was trying to find a good quote to honor my good friend Erik on his big birthday today and came across this one.

It seemed particularly appropriate given all of our current circumstances.

The world’s gone a little crazy.

We’ve been stuck at home with little contact.

We’re going to come out of it to a new normal.

It might feel like the rest of the world has walked out.

But the real friends will be there after. For the part where we all walk out into the bright sunshine one morning and get to work on building a new normal together.

I’m glad to have Erik as a real friend (as well as many others on this list).

I’m thankful for him and for you.

Make it a great day.
