I'm sorry to hear that you lost a friendship, but maintaining them can be hard. My best friend is 500 miles away and we probably talk on the phone once a month, but every time we do she reminds me why she is my best friend, my confidante, and the sister I never had. My friendship with her has grown and changed a lot- more than once we have drifted apart and almost lost touch, but a stubborness seems to keep us going. She's very different from me, but at the same time, very similar, vulnerable in the same ways I am. You wrote a beautiful post, very eloquent, and yes very vulnerable. I've written similar posts, and over the years I've learned that part of good writing, at least when you're writing about yourself, is opening up and letting yourself be vulnerable. Somehow, the words ring truer and better when they come from the heart. Goodluck with everything, don't be afraid to call me, email me, or im me if you have time. I still think of you and all the great choir/volunteering memories, and I miss that. ~Nicole :-)
