It was the best ... the absolute best! I had lunch today with my dear old friend, "Lebo," whom I had not seen in many years and it'd been so long, I was actually nervous when I first sat down. But I needn't had been.

She was SO lovely and I was just SO happy to see her, words can hardly describe it. Our conversation flowed like we had never missed a beat even though the circumstances of our separation were not the best or most pleasant. It was actually never a hate thing or a fight even, just a complicated mix of a situation involving someone we both know. This is a story included in my memoirs though so you'll have to read them (Stolen Souls is the 1st, New Beginnings the 2nd) when I finish them and put them out.

Let me just say I would definitely not make the same decision today knowing what I know now although I do not at all regret what happened because the lessons I learned - the MANY, MANY lessons - were priceless. The main one? Learning that I would love deeply again, that I was not broken, and that no matter what, I would always be okay, has made my life today possible and that is definitely and decidedly not regrettable.

I'm very glad to have come full circle with this though and for that I thank my great friend always, Lisa. Love you babe! Always have, always will.
