When There’s No Help For It

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

When you think you may be losing a friend- a good friend…your very best friend- there isn’t much help for it. You cry and make ugly faces. You get angry and make even more ugly faces. You drink. You go into the day with the best intentions. You get your hopes up. You commiserate with [...]
