Those few having my number can call if in high need but that happened only twice during the past ten years.
They all find it easier to write and express what they feel this way. Always long epistels so I take the time to read, think and answer without disturbance. I think that is how a friendship should be - investing, taking time to not only listen but also to hear what is said. That's difficult if a call is made in a hurry while the recipient is in the middle of something. If it's a friend I drop everything and sit down, somewhere without others luring and hearing. I don't find that appropriate but it feels I am a rare species.

Phone calls today are different from 50 or 60 years ago. I remember we had our first landline and my grandparents had. We spoke in privacy. Did we share more? I think so, same for letters. The telegram was for emergency or congratulations.

The average human can not communicate, it makes connecting harder, same for friendship. A friend is a follower on facebook, a stranger never reading you.
