A Thank You Note

One of my greatest friends and I had a bonding experience this weekend - we cried in the rain together. Yeah, we both had men, *ahem* boys, make us cry on the same night. Pitiful. It reminds me of the saying that goes something like... the man we should cry over is the one that won't make us cry... or something along those lines. It also makes me think "What would I do without this great friend of mine? Would I be crying alone in the rain? Or maybe just crying somewhere alone." I know that no matter how many great friends I have or how much support I get from my family, there will always be pain. It's really nice to have someone to share that pain with, because as she is crying for herself, she is trying to comfort me. I'm able to draw her away, even if it is just a little bit, from her own pain. We help each other. This person is one of the most important people in my life right now, for many reasons. She's supportive, inspirational, funny, thoughtful, smart, and a darn good fiddler, if I do say so myself. Ironically, we were brought together by people who are not in our lives anymore and who are actually quite hurtful to us. The person for me is Plan B., who we all know so well. So I would like to extend a note of my deepest appreciation to Mr. Plan B. Thank you, Plan B., for leading me to such a great friend. The turmoil and hurt you have brought to my life is worth the friendship that has developed between her and I. For every moment of pain you have caused me, she has brought 10 times as much happiness. I am ever grateful to you, however I am not indebted to you because you owe me big time, asshole!
