My best friend from San Antonio is returning to the Bay area next week to graduate with her PhD. I have known her for 6 years now, and she's always been working on this dissertation. I am so proud of her accomplishment, and so happy that I'll get to see her for the first time since September, that I'm about to burst.

My other best friend (I have about 4 or 5 of these, btw) was discussing a romantic issue with me today and when we were done, she said "I don't know what I would have done if I didn't get to talk to you first about this." I glowed.

It's nice to see my friends succeed, and it's nice to know that I'm needed too. I wish everyone could be as happy with their friends as I am.
