I'm trying to keep things in perspective. Months ago she was scared to even be near me. Now she wants to be best friends...I know that is progress. I'm just so afraid of becoming her best friend and then being stuck with just that. The idea of first building a solid friendship is great and I hope that is something we can do...but the thought of only being her friend scares me.
I am feeling a bit better. I dont know if I mentioned it before but I used to coach high school wrestling...well I had a chance to get back into it this year at a new school and it is keeping me pretty busy. On down days I know wrestling will cheer me up.
