I never thought I would feel so affected when Ebb left. This must be because I was reminded once again of how our friendship meant to me. She took care of me and I also did the same to her. I think I never felt I cared so much for a friend as much as I did for her. She and I shared many many secrets. She left this morning after a brief visit. Our eyes met, we sadly smiled and willfully turned away, each one afraid to hear the other say goodbye again.
