About this story

We all have that one best friend who is our person. They're the one we text and talk to every day. They're more than a friend. They're our confidante, our muse, our shoulder to cry on, and the one we celebrate with. They are our rock. 

What happens when the rock gets swept away and isn't there anymore? 

Lyle has to figure it out on his own.

Let's start this review out with a warning.  This is a extremely sad and very emotional story that is written with great tenderness and a strong feeling of loss.  It's a wonderful read, so make sure you do.   

The premise is a series of text messages from Lyle to his recently departed best friend, Evan, who was killed in a traffic accident.  During the one-way communication, Lyle wants to let Evan know how much he misses him and to to fill Evan in about recent events in his life, starting with the accident and the funeral.  He also acknowledges specific dates and events that he feels Evan would want to know about.  This is a sad, yet beautiful written, story about the closeness of these two young men shared, and it is easy to relate to their closeness and Lyle's feelings of loss.

When you first shared the idea of this story, it reminded me of the Japanese Wind Phone which is in Ōtsuchi in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. It was made by Itaru Sasaki and he used it to help him deal with the death of a family member.  Someone told me of this a few years ago. 

I thought it was such a beautiful thing.  Lyle's story is too.  Sad, yet beautiful in that he never forgets his best friend. 

As we read Lyle's texts to Evan he works through his grief and difficult moments in his life. 

Moshi Moshi is a sweet, emotional piece ... a story in Lyle's own words. 

 

Response from the author:

Thanks so much for helping me out with this one. In a roundabout way our chats contributed to the idea. There are a few people in my life I communicate with long distance, especially my friends in Florida. I lost one of them several years ago and it got me thinking what if I just kept chatting. Would it be cathartic or not? For Lyle it became his therapy to help him cope. 

I'm glad you enjoyed it xo

Through a series of diary/journal entries over several years we learn of the Lyle's best friend, Evan, being killed in a serious car crash before their high school graduation. Lyle goes onto college eventually finds a bf who he marries before graduation and them going onto medical/vet degree programs. Their training separates them geographically and they later divorce. Lyle after his divorce has not found another partner. He became the ER doc he wanted to be.

Evan made a powerful impact on Lyle.  His choice to be an ER doc might have been possible rooted in a trauma from Evan's death

Response from the author:

Lyle needed these text entries. Evan's death left a hole and this was his way of keeping Evan's memory alive. Thanks for reading!
