This episode of Milkweed & Monarchs, titled "Divine Intervention," is an intimate and heartfelt reflection on friendship, redemption, and fate. Dawn Klem, the host, recounts her deep bond with a tight-knit group of friends from Hillsdale, Michigan, and the ways life inevitably pulled them in different directions.
She shares a touching story of her attempt to reconnect with her old friends by organizing a special lobster dinner for their 50th birthday celebration. However, an unexpected health scare involving one of her friends' husbands leads to an urgent trip to the emergency room—an event she later describes as a moment of divine intervention. Through this experience, she reflects on the importance of maintaining close friendships despite the years and distance, and the realization that these lifelong relationships remain an essential part of her life.
