How To Help?

I tend to be rather protective of the people I care about, often rabidly so. I have two seperate friends going through considerable angst over moving. One has just sold her house, and between accepting a contract on it a month ago and now, her AC has gone on the fritz, and her refridgerator has died. Twice. All of this must be taken care of by closing on Thursday.

The other friend is moving across country to start a new job in a small town a very long way from anything.

I wish there was something I could do for them. Even if it was to make them believe it will all be OK. Because it will.

I hate feeling powerless like this.

You once told me a story about a man who went around unknowingly doing good deeds for others...believe me, you have gone above and beyond. It is the greatest comfort in the world to hear that everything is going to be all right. Really. OK so I became a blubbering idiot sunday afternoon but I'm still here today (grins) and you were right, everything will be just fine.
