It happened

I got an email today from a friend telling me that his email address was going to self-destruct in 24 hours, that's it's time to move on. So after 2 years, it has happened, the end of thousands, millions of words back and forth, admittedly most of them from me. I can't say I really understand except that friends have to be committed to each other, and both sides have to do their part to keep the friendship alive. And if he chooses to let the friendship lapse, then I really have no choice but to let it go. For days now, he has been giving away nothing, not allowing me even the tiniest insight into what is going on. I wish him well, and thank him for two beautiful gifts that he gave me which remind me of him.
