CRYING part II

FRIENDS.

The TV show FRIENDS first aired on TV the exact month that my parents separated.

FRIENDS ended while I was in college.

FRIENDS was my favorite TV show! It got me through so much when I was looking for thirty minutes to escape in another world, especially in high school!

When I graduated high school and moved into an apartment with my little roommate Jenn, our friends would come over every Thursday night and watch FRIENDS.

Ahhh, those were the good ol' days. FRIENDS. Will & Grace. ER. Great TV shows!

When it was time for FRIENDS to go off the air, my BFF Paula came over to watch with me and Dave. For one hour before the series finale there was a FRIENDS tribute. When the tribute ended, before the show even began, Paula and I were in tears.

Dave, feeling a little uncomfortable with this estrogen fest, didn't know what to do. All he knew is that he didn't want to be in the living room with two uncontrollably crying females. So, he did what any man with a caring heart and clever brain would do. It got him out of the room so he didn't have to sit with two crying females and it got him brownie points!

He got up. He walked into the kitchen. He retrieved a box of Ghiradelli brownie mix and began making brownies, chocolate, for these two devastated girls.

The icing on the cake though...he brought us the left over brownie batter and two spoons! We began soothing our sorrows away, before the brownies were even ready.

Chocolate healing all wounds...pretty much not a myth!
