[Creighton]

There's not much that can be said that these other fine folks haven't already said, Lunchbox...but I just wanted to say that I admire you greatly for what you've done...it takes a certain kind of courage to do what you have done for this friend all along...but in the end, when it comes to who he wants to marry, all you can do is give your opinion and hope it's heard...if not, well, that's how the longest remembered lessons are learned.

One thing, though: I don't believe you'll let him rot when he falls. You've just been too good a friend to let that happen. You're angry now, and I certainly don't blame you...but in the end, you strike me as one of those who'll be there when the dust clears to set your friend on his feet again...maybe not with the same emotional committment...but then again, probably so.

There aren't enough people in the world like that, my friend. Glad to meet one, even if it IS online.
