In the end it cost me a lot more than the money it cost me the best friend I've ever had. Very painful and I'll always miss her but still happy we were able to do it for her and her kids. You too have experienced something very costly in more ways than one. Perhaps you were put together by kharma because of your ability to help her. Be happy with yourself. She's healthy now in part due to you. Sadly I heard my ex best friend is now about to lose her house after all. If we could we'd help her again. It's ok to still love her. You can always cherish those times even as you move forward in life.

God Bless You too, Jamie!!!...we all should "let our light shine", no matter what others choose to do, they shouldn't let us change the essence of who WE are...the world would certainly be a better place if everyone cared about everyone else the way you and Noob showed that you do...
I am the same way, and it can get you "hurt" sometimes, but I won't let it change who I am...I still always look for the best in everyone and refuse to believe the worst, until they prove otherwise..........
AND, I agree with what you told "Noob" too...
