If she is a good friend, you will connect.

I just came back from visiting my old old old gf in Chicago. We have known each other since we were both six.

She has a palatial house, a hard working CPA husband with his own accounting firm, three lovely children, etc. etc.

And I have nothing.

But it is OK - we connected very well. I am glad I went. I used to think that this kind of difference in social status would be a divide, but - it was not.

And I just recently did hang up after talking with her for two hours.

BUT I understand how your position is different from mine because she will visit YOU. I would not want my friend to visit me in my apartment. So sure, get that part.
Thanks for this!
