((NSW))
ditto with the others, you did handle it great - as per usual dear -
As for the friend, i don't know what she wanted with that phone call (make amend or else??) but i kinda think the same as newblue here. I don't know if me, if i had a best addicted friend, would tell the family. I'd think it's not my place to tell....Just my thoughts. Difficult position.
Anyway, take care of you & grandson
Hugs
