You were there for me last night when I was in a very low spot; even while you were in your own. Thank you so much for reaching out to me.
We have all seen your committment, especially through your children. And the way that you have stood by her, not FOR her, as a friend...was truly amazing. Maybe if I had been able to do that...
You have risen above so much--your pain, pride, shock--while being there for your kids. How could she not notice? I think I copied an article that talks about "authenticity," and you have that.
