Wonderful piece. I feel this so acutely as a 42yo father and tech worker. It's hard to even keep up with my own siblings. I see my some of my "best friends" once a year if that. Sending the occasional text and stupid memes back and forth is no replacement for how things were when we were younger. I keep telling myself I'm going to do something about it, start a book club, plan more trips with old friends, etc., and another year slips by.
