I have been avoiding reaching out on my own and trying to GAL. I went to lunch with a friend today, and he texted but I didn’t answer. He then called me three times. I finally call back, and he says, “I just wanted to make sure you are alive.” Of course I am, I just didn’t answer right away.

Over the course of 20 years, we have always texted all day and talked a lot each day. I miss my friend, but of course it’s not the same anymore. It’s hard not to want him back to his old self, but I’m trying my best to focus on me and the kids each day. This feels like a never ending roller coaster I don’t want to be on. I still haven’t seen any D papers nor has he brought it up again, maybe he’s working behind the scenes… who knows.

I’m tired.
