Omg! I totally have this favorite friend thing and have been crushed to bits by it twice in the last 3 years and fear developing this new one, so I try to maintain distance with her now. (If it means anything, the first two were male, but she's a friend of theirs) *sigh! I have been trying to move from that circle over the past year, but it happens everywhere. I've had these favorite person's in my own family (cousins, brother, and mom Herself) and yes, it can be scary but I've a really good Mom (more than she seems to think. God, it kills me when she says sometimes she thinks she could've messed up as a mother. Nobody is perfect, but she was a pretty good Mom!) Anyway, yep, I'm near tears reading that article. Actually, I had to stop. Too emotional of a day already. Bookmarked it tho!

Hugs to anyone needing it!
