I'll be heading over to my best friend's house in a little while. He's having a pretty terrible time right now. I've known for some time that he's had financial difficulties, but I don't think I realized the extent of those problems until just recently when he asked if I could help him sort through some bankruptcy laws. I had no idea he was considering bankruptcy. I've had to help a lot of my own clients sort through the bankruptcy laws so they could determine whether they wanted to file or not, so that stuff is second-nature to me. I know he really trusts me, so it's something I want to help him out with. We're practically next-door neighbors. I've seen him live through probably one of the worst years of his life. After he lost his job, everything else seemed to go with it. He ended a long-term relationship and he almost lost the house. I'll be able to help him keep it, though. I think it's for the best. I never had a good feeling about that relationship he was in. I knew she was only interested in his money. Once he lost his high-powered job and all the status and wealth that came with it, she took off so fast I almost got whiplash. He doesn't know it, but I've loved him practically ever since we knew each other. I mean, sure, he knows I love him since we're best friends, but I don't think he realizes the extent of my feelings. He has practically nothing and, still, I think my love for him has deepened. With her around, I could never show it. Now he's got all these other things going on, so I feel like I still can't say it. I eventually will. He's definitely not in the frame of mind to be dating anyone new, so, right now what we've got is time.
