Absolutely. These are the times when we need each other most. Beautiful and vulnerable post, Chris. In the words of Prince "We are gathered here to get through his thing called life." Writing may be a substitute, but it's one that connects. And that's a good thing.

Life is full of paradoxes--we can be positive/supportive and at the same time feel like shit. In all of these many colorful moods, I'm here for you my friend.
