• I've struggled to maintain long-term friendships as people drift away.
• My grandmother has kept the same close friends for over 60 years.
• Her approach taught me to prioritize time, loyalty, and showing up.

Today, loyalty seems hard to find. From people moving away to straight-up ghosting me, I don't have as many long-term friends as I'd hoped to have.

I've read books on friendship, apologized when I'm at fault...
