This was such a beautifully-told story, Monica. That's a lot to have to deal with at once -- a decades-long friendship ending on top of a divorce. It's hard to face the truth when there's that part of ourselves that wants to hang on to things as they are; to convince us out of reality, especially when the reality is painful. Loved the imagery, especially "We were two streams born in the same river that started flowing in separate directions." Thanks for sharing this. Have you already published this memoir?
