Inching Along is about being there. It is a game of thanks. It’s a thank you to all of my friends who showed up for me in such huge unexpected ways when I was at my lowest.

I don’t know how much it meant to them, but it was absolutely invaluable to me. They were points of light when I couldn’t even open my eyes. I didn’t even know how to ask, I had nothing to offer, and they all just gave.

Here is to all of you. To board games, to rock-climbing belays, to episodes of Baggage, to a place to crash, to not needing answers, to phone calls, to books sent in the mail.

Thank you. I love you.
