Silver Tree on Instagram: "This is Meg. A real person- not a cover story. She is one of my very nearest and dearest. Like all her friends I love her madly. She is the friend who insists on always hearing the details of your life, your day, your kids life, your kids day, before hers. Always before hers...The friend who stocks her house full of all your very favourite things when you visit and pretends she already had them-just because she wants the moment to be about you not her. It’s always that way with her friends- us before her. When you move to a new city she creates a book of all the special things that city can give you- shares all the little secrets it offers over to you so you’ll feel less homesick. She leaves it on your doorstep so you have it when you wake up. On her wedding day she checks in on me the morning of. It’s her day, the world is standing by, it’s a lot-but she wants the day to be special for me. “You’ve come such a long way” she says “Are you jet lagged?” she says “I made you a playlist to listen to while you get ready” she says...She gives you peonies on your birthday. When my son was going through a scary, complicated diagnosis she is the friend who stopped everything and helped map out, step by step, how we would navigate things.She called all the people, all the places when I was too paralyzed to form a plan. That’s another one of her gifts- making you feel like you can get through anything. She’s the friend who shares her all of her secrets with you, because despite having so many reasons to put walls up her heart remains as wide open as it always has been. This is Meg before she met H. This is Meg now. She’s always been this person. She’s not a headline. She’s my friend. I love her.❤️" | Zootzle
