Relationships - just like computers, sinks, or cars - require maintenance. If you don't tend to your relationships with your family and friends they will soon forget about you and eventually learn to live without you. It goes without saying that I love when people make an effort to keep you in their life. Whether its catching up on the phone once a week for 20 minutes, random text messages, making plans to grab lunch, or making a drive up/down somewhere to see you. I'm glad I have people who feel like my relationship w/ them is worth keeping.
