Her: No problem dear. It has helped me too...Thanks.
Her: are you ok now?
Me: I'm doing better yes... I feel...more comforted? idk its weird but I know the tears arent gone for good

Her: Even if he is almost 40
Me: I've had alot of support from my family and friends, oh and from what I understand thats one of the worse things, its not supposed to be that way
Her: exactly, sounds like you have good friends
Me: they knew how we felt for each other...even if the calender time wasnt long, they could tell
Her: I could tell too, he talked about you all the time
Me: That makes me happy, he tolds me a lot about you and John, I was nervous about meeting you, lol
Her: We'll have to have lunch sometime
Me: I would like that
Her: sounds like a plan
Her: I'm goin to bed, its been a crazy day here
Me: I bet. Goodnight Rita
Her: good night
