Some guests surprise us with a visit.

Some guests surprise us when they return for another visit.

Some guests surprise us when they don’t run away, but stay a little longer than expected.

On a recently Saturday, a guest surprised us.

That morning and that afternoon the guest surprised us. Not once. Twice.

It left. But returned.

We need more friends like that. From a visit to more visits. From a moment to more moments. Instead of running away, choosing to stay a while.

Endurance. Time together, then more time together.
