Carolyn & Jimmy

An hour ago I get this IM from Carolyn as I am sitting with Dara and Zach (yes, my 7 year old does go to bed way too late in the summertime.)

I broke up with Jimmy. I'm a mess. It's so much harder than i thought it was going to be. I know i did the right thing... It just hurts so much.

I hope you and Dara can work things out.

Carolyn was there for me, every single time I reached out, as I struggled with dealing with Dara's dalliance(s). There is no way in the world that I will not be there for her now. Yes, I did sleep with her. Again and again. And it was good. But this is not about that. She is hurting, and she is a friend and I want her to know that she can count on me to be there for her.

I call her, she is crying, she is sad. She really loved him, really. He was just not willing to give up being in New Orleans to come up to New York.

"I'm sorry, I can't talk any more. Thanks for calling."

She is amazing. I hope she finds the love that I have found with Dara.
