thoughts while lying around on a snow day

One of my friends wrote a note and it made me really broody, so I've been thinking a lot these past couple of days. Usually all this contemplation results in some long-drawn, philosophical exposition. But alas, this time I find myself at a loss for words. All I've come up with is that I am a terrible friend. I'm absent. I'm not as empathetic as I should be. In spite of my eloquence in print, I can never find the right words to say.

It's not enough to just offer a shoulder for someone to cry on. Sometimes they need an arm to offer a hug and a hand to wipe away the tears.

All I have to say is, I am sorry.
