HI, Tori, (((((((((((((((BIG HUGS, my friend)))))))))))))))!
Take care of you and dont see Joe if you don't feel like it. Agree w Wendylon...it really doesn't matter how you tell him. personally, I would text or email, not call.
Don't be surprised if this new development brings out new feelings for you (it sounds like it already has), b/c it puts a degree of finality on things that wasn't there before for you.
I agree that Joe's departure was definitely a gift...you deserve SO MUCH MORE from a healthy R!
