Just got off the phone with my godmother - she had spoken with my mom the other day and mom spilled about the upcoming divorce. Well, Irene was great, just saying "do what you have to do, no matter what I love you and if you need anything, let me know". Started getting weepy. I've just been so scared and confused and a lot of my friends seem to be turning away from me and that makes me angry - HOW DO THEY KNOW WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH??? But Irene was so wonderful and outstanding and just so THERE for me. She even asked me if I needed any money which floored me.
What really breaks my heart is that I missed out on her for such a big part of my life. When I was growing up, she and Dick (husband/childhood sweetheart) were around a lot and I somehow lost her in my teens. Just drifted apart. Suddenly, Dick died around 6 years ago, and we were just together again after the funeral. A lot of it has to do with her being in FL and me in the upper midwest, but hell. God I miss her.
