So, my best friend and I have been estranged for a little over two years. It has been an incredibly difficult and sad couple of years, and even though I was doing better, I never stopped missing her and I was always hopeful that someday she may reach out to me again (though I thought that was very, very unlikely).

Two days ago, out of the blue, she reached out to me. We talked, we cried, we're now friends again, and well on our way to being best friends again.

I can't even explain how much she means to me or how happy I am. I cried three god damn times talking to her Thursday night. We spent four hours on the phone yesterday catching up. It was amazing. It was like no time had passed. She is the closest friend I have ever had and I am so, so thrilled to have her back in my life.
