((((AI)))) certainly not pathetic nor dumb...by any means. It sounds reasonable and quite normal.

When we love someone, and they are hurting we do put ourselves aside and want to try to comfort them. Especially if they are our best friend!

Do you want to write a letter to him and tell him that? I think it is normal to want to reach out...I just would hate for you to set yourself up for more pain xx
