You should print out all of the responses you got here to show to her when you meet her again. Kind of break the ice with “it looks like you have quite a few people who side with you”. ---

I think the two of you will have a long and happy friendship together, as you seem quite suited for each other. ---

Now\* that\* was a classy response. I hope you take her up on her offer and things go well for the two of you. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Avarie537] FYI, I have received a response. It was an email, so I can give it to you word for word (names edited, of course): I’m so happy I could cry! THIS is what I wanted to hear from her, and really hoped had happened for her own sake. I was ham-fisted in my typing and didn’t know if she even would respond. I don’t have time to compose the response I want to send before I go to work this morning, but you can believe I’ll be thinking about this one all day as well. [/QUOTE] Yay! ---

Well, as it turns out, I don’t have to bother responding. She called me around 6:00 and we talked for over an hour. She’s coming over on Wednesday. All I can say is 😃 ---

Have coffee and cake, and at least a couple of boxes of Kleenex for when she visits. A kitten or a puppy would not be out of line either. ---

That’s absolutely wonderful **Avarie**. She sounds like she’s really turned into an angel. I hope you can now hold her near and dear to your heart, and that y’all’s future relationship is all that it’s meant to be. Beautiful. 🙂 ---
