Friends Know Friends
 My best friend came to see me on Saturday and stayed over night. He lives a few hundred miles away so I don't see him very often. He was here for all of ten minutes when he asked me if I had feelings for N.

 He may be my best friend but he had no idea about the situation I've been in for the last half year or so. I have never mentioned it to him and I haven't even seen him since all this started. How did he know? I think he may be part psychic, but he said he saw the way I looked at a picture of N when I was showing him photos of the baby. It was that obvious....at least to him.

 We go back more than 20 years and he said he knows me as well as anybody. I believe him.

 I'm glad he figured it out so quickly. It was so nice to talk to somebody about it. I mean I appreciate everyone here who has followed my situation over the months and all the comments and emails. But I have to say, there was something special about having a person in front of me who has known me for years to talk to.

 There was no judging, not even any real advice. Just listening, understanding and yes a few beers. He said I was walking taller and showing an old confidence that he hadn't seen in a while. I guess love can do that.

 And I guess true friends can see through our masks.

i'm so glad you were able to open up to someone. its hard to do that sometimes. and i understand about talking to people here, and friends you've known for years.. it really isn't the same. it helps, but nothing can beat talking to a great friend face to face without judgement.

"But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak
fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's
most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort -
the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither
to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out,
just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand
will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the
breath of kindness blow the rest away. "

Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

How wonderful and freeing to be able to share your thoughts with your long time friend. Burdens are not meant to be carried alone. I know what you mean about having someone right there in front of you. There are those times, for me, when nothing will do but a real hug. Wishing you Peace, Love and Happiness Always.

You've got that right. Your real friends can always "read your mail". They know...they JUST KNOW...like Mommas do.
