My wife/partner/bestfriend has just spent the past three+ hours on the phone with a friend who has recently gone through a difficult divorce that involves a longtime partner and two teen kids. She burned through the battery on her cell phone, then switched to the land line (thank goodness for plenty of minutes on the cell plan and Unlimited Long Distance on the land line).
Everyone should have a friend like this, someone they can talk to for hours at a time, someone they can just spill it all to, someone who can offer advice and opinion but at the same time not be judgemental.
Our friend is lucky, and so am I.
Do you have someone like this you can count on in times of need?
