Ohhhkay, well, that’s perfect! What a wonderfully honest and hilarious response to a situation that must have been pretty scary for you. One filled with love, too, I’m sure. Thank you so much for reading and leaving this comment, Tana. Made my day.

A bit of humour in what was a very scary time for me 20 years ago

Preach! I think the relationships we have with our friends are some of the most precious we’ll ever encounter. Thank you for reading, Tracey.

Ooooh, that IS good advice (and one I’d like to try to remember). Thanks for sharing!

Like Brenda mentioned, I bookmarked this so I can come back to it when I need reminding.

The best advice I ever received was from my dad at probably around age 11 or 12. He told me, “You are as happy as you want to be.” In other words, I should not rely on someone else to make me happy. It’s my own responsibility.

She told me this after she lost her husband!

Basically, let it be. Stop overthinking or trying to make a situation work that shouldn’t. It will sort itself out.
