An email I received

I received this email a week or two ago from a lady that (works in my building) I have lunch with and visit often. I've known her for about 20 years. We were walking buddies during a recnt building wide exercise and health promotion.

No - we are just friends and she has a significant other. She's about 12 years older than me. We have discussed my issues extensively. She recently (3 months) separated from her husband - I was her confidant as well during her difficulties.

"Hi [Cadbury],
I know this will make you very sad, but I am only here until noon. Then off to do a bunch of fun things at home. Lawns, fertilizing, bedding, clean house, colouring my hair.......
See you on Monday. Hope you have a peaceful weekend with no walking on eggshells or that twisted feeling in your stomach. Remember you are a good guy!! I know cause I spend more time with you then I do with any other man.
Hugs and Kisses,
[insert friend's name]"

I am happy to have received such validation. One more reason to be looking up.
