gmail chat

i just had an e-mail conversation with one of my best girlfriends.  she and i became friends through an eating disorder support group, were really tight for years and then drifted apart.  we recently reconnected.  i just wanted to relay our conversation (w/out her name of course):

Thanks for being in my life.


me:

Is there anything I can do to support you?  Please let me know.

I love you always.


her:

me:
okay, now i’m about to cry.

it’s such a joy from my side too.

haha, now i am crying.  :-p

i’m so so so glad we’re reconnected as well.
