Old friends
Disclaimer: I questioned the wisdom of blogging about this, but after Sally gave her consent, I decided to forge head.
About six months ago, I got a terrible phone call from Sally. Her dad had died unexpectedly. We talked for over an hour, cursing the fact that we were so far apart at such a time, crying over her loss, and-- as can be expected when Sally and I talk-- laughing hysterically. We weren't laughing about her dad, clearly, just laughing because that's what old friends do. When I got off the phone, I crossed the house to tell John the news. His reaction, naturally, was one of complete shock. "Oh my GOD. [beat] Then WHY were you LAUGHING?!?"
