There's Pains In My Heart Place

My husband is heartbroken. He's losing his is best friend. They've been so close for so long it is just sad that this has to happen now. His friend has always been there for him, whenever Al is stressed or frustrated he could hang out with his friend and his worries would disappear. I'm not going to reveal this friend's name for privacy sake, but you know who you are.


You'd think I'd be jealous right? Well to be honest I was at first. But then I realized that I should actually be grateful for him. I know how important my friends are in my life so anyone who can make my hubster happy is always welcome in our lives.


And God knows every wife needs a break from these massive forms of testosterone. It's nice to be able to bake without being groped from all angles so I appreciate this friend. And really, he is my friend too. Of course I'm not as close to him as Al is, but we do have a good relationship. We respect each other and the role we each play in Al's life.


Hell, even I love having this dude around. And, strange as it seems, he's actually brought Al and I closer together. I know that sounds weird but it's true.


We're going to miss him, but I know that once this stage of our life has passed, there will be other friends to come our way. You may be wondering if we love this dude so much then why are we losing him?


Well our buddy is moving away and I know very well that we could continue a long distance relationship with him but, surprisingly Al has decided against it. Since Al will be going to Law School next year and won't have time for much else he'd end up neglecting him anyway. Al didn't want to put him through that, so he's cutting him loose now.


Geez, it sounds like he's breaking up with a girlfriend doesn't it? I know you probably think I'm being over dramatic, but for us, it truly is.


When Al told me what he planned to do I was shocked. I mean, how can you let someone who is such a big part of your life go like that? Of course it isn't easy for Al, when the subject comes up he gets his adorable sad boy look on his face, points to his chest and says,


"There's pains in my heart place."


And then I in turn kiss his chest right above his heart in order to "make it all better". Because that's what moms wives do.


But this too shall pass. Our life will go on, our friend's life will go on. So I just wanted to publicly thank our dear friend for all the good times.



You will truly be missed.








































Goodbye Hoggy.
