I came out to my best friend last week and telling him was the single difficult most thing I have ever done in my life!! He was very accepting and didn't have a single negative comment about our conversation. The best part is, today I receive a card in the mail from him which read.......
]At times, life's path seems filled with things that make the going rough, and we wish there were a smoother road, for we feel we've had enough.... But, if we pause a moment and remember who's i n charge, the hills that loom ahead of us no longer seem so large. And every rock before us, when we know we're not alone, becomes, not just a stumbling block, but one more stepping stone...
On the inside he hand wrote..
Dear Melissa,
You've overcome so many things in your life, and, every time you've grown through sheer determination and the wisdom that you have shown. So as you face your journey, know that I will with you always and I know you'll have the strength to overcome anything in you way and complete your journey with the Utmost dignity and grace. Just like you've always shown.
Always your best friend forever,
Jim
Again, I am becoming very emotional while writing this just cannot believe this support and warmth that my best friend is showing. I now know that I have a very dear, close true friend and him. It is really comforting to know that he will still be there for me. He always has been there when I needed him the most, and cannot thank him enough for all he has done for me. How did your best friend react when you came out of the closet? A big warm hug to everyone!
Melissa Ann
