Yesterday I resolved an unresolved emotion--how about that! A good, good, dear friend of mine and I have been out of touch. Turns out for no good reason, but me with my various insecurities and paranoias had determined we had a falling out. About what? Who the hell knows.
I got an email from my friend Joe, with a synopsis of what's been happening with him for the last six months and we are now officially back in touch. Funny how I had turned it into something it wasn't. I wonder how easily some of my other unresolved emotion-stuff could be resolved.
Anyway, Joe and I have been friends since the eighties. He is like a brother to me. He is smart and funny and talented, one of my very favorite people. And I missed the hell out of him.
The day Doug proposed to me he said, "Do you want me to ask Joe to be in our wedding?" Two things about that: first, how sweet it was of Doug, knowing that as an only child, Joe was the closest male friend/closest thing to a brother I had, and acknowledging that. Second, Joe was in our wedding, so that tells you, yes, we were very good friends.
Joe lives in LA and is one of the busiest people I know. He's got lots of friends and lots of business-stuff to do all the time, and me, I've got kids and nothing but kid stuff to do all the time--so we don't connect as much anymore. But that doesn't change how much I love him and how happy I am to have him in my life.
