What has changed, of course, is that neither of us is married now, and our children are grown, and without those considerations, we've been free to talk honestly about how we really feel about each other, and we've been free to take our relationship in a direction it couldn't go years ago.

We held onto each other during the earthquake twelve days ago, and rode out Hurricane Irene together last weekend. We did some shopping together Saturday, we're going to dinner Sunday with some friends of hers, and we're planning some nice weekend getaways this coming fall.

I am enjoying this new relationship with my old friend more than I would have thought possible, and I am still in awe over how all this came to be!
