D like Marshal Dillon or Kwai Chang Caine. Man of few word, but when he speak ...BAM!
Lori, if you go to real friend with heart in hand, and they not let you back in, then they wasn't real friend. I mean, unless you total screw them over, then you has to accept that they maybe move on for they own good. But, I think they will still take you offering to heart. I had one sister-like friend (not an addict) who betray me too bad to ever trust or be friend with again. One day I run into her and she apologize profoundly. Say it was worst mistake she ever make in her life. She was shaking. I thank her for apology and hug her, but not would renew friendship. Friendship was irrevokably broken. But still, apology was accepted to me and I was glad for encounter.
