I felt better yesterday when I realized i had made a new friend who I can go out to lunches and to the park with.

She is in my support group and lives much closer to me than the friend whom I lost. We laughed together and had a nice time. I am hoping this will be a much healthier relationship. I feel like I gave my old friend the chance to reach out and repair the rupture she created by dumping me on our outing to see another friend instead, but that is not something she was really interested in doing.
