The Kindness of Checking Up on Our Friends

"The language of friends is not words but meanings."
― Henry David Thoreau

I have a very dear friend with whom I communicate daily.  It might be by text, e-mail or telephone, but we communicate about all kinds of things.  No matter how many conversations we have, we always have a pending list of topics to discuss.  Recently, she sent me a text in the morning, which I somehow did not see.  She found it odd that I had not responded to her text, so later that day, she called to check up on me.  She said she figured there might be something wrong with my phone.  Given the crazy busy lives that most of us -- including my friend -- lead, I was touched by her kindness in checking up on me.
