During her stay we didn't talk about work or my divorce. We just tried to use our time together to escape from reality and the stresses of our busy lives.

We spent hours strolling through Central Park, did some shopping in Chinatown, grabbed lunch in Little Italy, and checked out the dinosaurs at the Museum of Natural History. We also made time to see a Broadway show.

Even though she lives on the West Coast, it wasn't the first time I'd seen her since my divorce in March. We've spent countless hours on the phone talking about my marital problems so there really wasn't more to discuss. Given this, we decided it would be fun to just have a carefree weekend.

It was sad to see her go but there's comfort in knowing that she is only an airplane-ride away.

I believe that in life we have only a small handful of really true friends and she certainly falls into that basket. Her support has been such a huge help in dealing with my divorce and I am so grateful to have her as a friend.
