Wonderful piece. I feel this so acutely as a 42yo father and tech worker. It's hard to even keep up with my own siblings. I see my some of my "best friends" once a year if that. Sending the occasional text and stupid memes back and forth is no replacement for how things were when we were younger. I keep telling myself I'm going to do something about it, start a book club, plan more trips with old friends, etc., and another year slips by.
I have a strong urge to listen to pink Floyd and "10 years have got behind you" song. The years just flow past, Winter, Spring, summer, fall each day so busy and the time so short and also long.
