When longtime friends grow apart spiritually

My childhood best friend and I have been through everything together, but she's found God in a way that feels completely foreign to me and now our conversations are full of references I don't understand and silences where connection used to be. We're both trying to honor what we've been to each other while navigating this new distance that neither of us knows how to name.
