A good friend has been texting me on and off during the week for the past few months, usually just chatting through how my days been bht she always ends by saying goodnight - normally says something like ‘night night, sleep well’ . I live alone, lost my mum not too long ago and previously would have always rang mum last thing to say goodnight.
I’m a fully grown adult but been utterly bereft with grief . Friend is the same age as my mum, and it just makes me feel a bit better knowing someone one cares and as silly as it sounds I sleep better and I feel less alone turning the light off at night .
Would you find it weird if you were friend and I said how much I appreciate it . I don’t want her to feel she has to do it every night at all or something, it’s usually 3-4 nights a week. but it’s just such a lovely thing to do occasionally . I don’t know if she says it intentionally to help or if she’s just being polite iyswim!
