Thank you so much, Maria! Seeing him on Saturday really did help and I hope he keeps in touch so we can remain friends in the future.

It's funny, because I cried my eyes out after he left. About an hour later I had stopped crying and my best friend called me from Las Vegas. She said something about "a little voice telling her to call"... so when she said that, I started crying again. Her reply? "OH MY GOD, I WAS RIGHT!." It's funny how best friends work sometimes.

Judging from the brief conversation we had together, I can honestly say that the breakup helped us be better people.
