I didn't know you two were close friends. I've follow both of you for a long time. I often wonder what prompts people to leave paris and move back to the States. I've never lived outside the usa. But wish I had wanted to when it was possible for me to do so. I understand the feeling of lose when each friendship in another country helps one feel whole. And to have a friend who just "gets you" is a blessing. I wish that you both will find a way to keep the friendship active. You mean as much to her as she to you.
Yep. This is the terrible part of this wonderful life.
But.
We had lunch this weekend with someone who we have known since he was a study abroad student in Niger. (His daughters are about to go to university) We had a big exciting thing happen today & I WhatsApped with pals in Harare & Auckland & I just hung up the phone with my Rome person who lives in Toronto.
I’m not cryin--no wait, I’m definitely crying. I don’t even know what to say. I read this before going to bed last night, after our museum “date,” and again this morning; as if I needed convincing this was all real and happening. Like you said, it felt so tentative after that first declaration last year. So far off. And yet here we are. Indeed, Cyndi Lauper, time after time. Friendship is life affirming when it’s raw and real. We’ve weathered storms, supported each other, and learned from one another -- and will continue to do so. It won’t be the same. But it can still be as strong if we foster it. As much I loved Simone Weil’s words, your Haiku is what dug in deepest. Thanks for that. Merci pour tout. Je t’aime. 💔🥺
I've had to say goodbye to two of my dearest Parisian friends and their absence from my life here still feels raw after over a decade. I remember driving my buddy Hanser to the airport and realizing that this was indeed an end to an era, and there was nothing I could do to change the course of things. It's hard when people leave. So, just to say, I feel your pain. And I also feel your love. You and Sara have a bond that distance will be able to withstand, but it still won't ever feel the same as having your soul sister in your city. Much love to you two.

Moving tribute to Ms Lieberman.
I’m sorry your friend is leaving. That was a wonderful sentiment, we won’t miss anyone that we don’t love… Or something like that.
