I saw John the happiest and most upbeat I have seen him in some time, as he could finally see light at the end of the tunnel.
It was tough the last few years watching my best friend be systematically destroyed bit by bit by this (divorce) process.
Despite my living in Virginia, we saw a great deal of each other and supported each other through our respective separations and divorces. None of our circle of friends can understand this.
I'm sure they're working diligently, but it's still disappointing to a lot of us who knew John.
