My very best friend (of nearly 20 years) lost her husband over the weekend.

It's incredibly heartbreaking and jacked up...

I've only met the guy face-to-face once, but I've spent quite a few years playfully arguing with him over the phone when he'd call me "Mouth" and ask -why- exactly I needed to talk to my best friend so much.

It wasn't that we talked a lot, we'd just shoot text messages back and forth and every now and then, and early in the mornings after she drops my god son off at school, we'd talk on the phone. Time would go by that we didn't talk for a year or more, but we'd always find our way back to each other and it's like no time has passed between us at all.

But when we -did- finally meet in person for that short amount of time, it was like we'd known each other for ... as long as my best friend has been with him. lol...

But, I digress. I can't imagine how she feels. And it breaks my heart that I'm 4 - 5 hours away with no means to get down there to see her. I've been going bonkers trying to get in touch with her. I even broke down and added her on FB (which I don't want -anyone- knowing about aside from a select few people.. Adding her opened up a big 'ole can of "HEY Y'ALL I'M ON FACEBOOK!" even though I don't have my real last name, age, or location on there. I just don't wanna be found.)

This is just so shocking though, and so far out of left field. Like I said, my heart is completely broken for her. I can't imagine how she's dealing with this. RIP Shane.
