Grateful my friend called me just to sit in silence with me via /r/gratitude

Yesterday was rough. One of those days where nothing was disastrous but everything felt heavy. I didn’t have the energy to talk to anyone, and I guess my friend picked up on that because out of nowhere she called me.

She didn’t ask, “What’s wrong?” or try to cheer me up. She just said, “I’m folding laundry, stay on the line,” and we ended up sitting in total silence for like twenty minutes, just hearing each other move around in the background.

It sounds so small, but that call felt like someone putting a blanket over me when I didn’t know I was cold. I’m so grateful for people who don’t need words to show they care.
