Quote from: Oldandcreaky on Today at 07:56:33 AMHooray for you, Allie. And hooray for your wife, for she gets to keep your pals in her world. And most of all, hooray for your friends, for they get to keep Allie and you in their worlds.
Thanks and yeah, it's been good. Quite a morning, but good.
6-for-6 on the friends. ❤️
Had nice notes from all of them... and have spoken at length to two of them today already, and texted with a third to set up a time to chat on Thursday. Another we will try to set up a lunch with soon.
Here's just a sampling of a few of the (edited) messages:
Not really sure what to say in an email but you are my friend and that will never change - Am I surprised, yes, but all I want is for you to be happy.I will call you tomorrow!!! —
Thank you for sharing your letter with me. I respect and love you no matter what. Nothing will change between us-you are still my dear friend and will always be. —
Hey... I just read your letter and then read it again to [my wife] aloud. My friend... I love you, I will always love you, so thank you for sharing this with me. I and we will always be here for you and our friendship will never die! Let's chat tomorrow.—
Ok I just got your note, and thank you for letting me know and bringing me in. I'll want to hear all about everything of course, and much more about how you're doing, but wanted to let you know right away that I got it and to say thank you and that I'm proud of you. If there's a good day to talk tomorrow or sometime this week let me know, ok?
I love you, my friend.There was one bad phone call today:
I ordered Pho for lunch, and I got a call from the restaurant reminding me that they were closed today and they apologized for the website allowing the order to go through. So now I have to have something else for lunch... when I was really looking forward to that.
But you, know, in terms of all the other stuff? All good. Just EXHAUSTING.
Yours in pho-lessness,
Allie
P.S. Oh, on one of the calls, one of my friends speaking about my wife said the following - "I've told many people, you and your wife are the best friends of any couple I know." Which is an awfully nice thing to say.
