Thank you for the replies. We still talk occasionally through Facebook, texting and Snapchat, but it's still not the same. She has admitted that she's horrible at returning texts and I sometimes feel like I'm being obsessive by sending her a message and it takes her a long time to respond, or not at all.

If I understand correctly, you are married and this person happens to be a female. That can be very difficult as well. Does your wife understand this friendship?

Yes, my wife does know about our friendship. I view her as a sister and my wife understands this. Friday night I came right out and asked her if we could go on vacation next year and visit her (she lives right by the beach and my wife has wanted to take a beach vacation for a few years now) and she said yes. That in itself has calmed me down considerably. I thought it would be years before I got to see her again, but now it looks like it might just be over a year away. I'm hoping that goodbye won't be as hard as this last one though.
