Contortions

Tomorrow we find out whether B. passed the bar. I know she's tied in 100,000 knots, which is probably about one-half more than I am right now. I just really, really want her to pass. More than that, I almost need her to pass. I'm not sure I could handle the guilt if she hits another wall. It would be incredibly unfair for me to have passed and her not to.

She's so damn good at this stuff. She's got the fire and the eye for detail that's required of attorneys. Me? I've got the interest and the ability. But isn't that such a huge distinction?

As Momma put it, B. has the passion for the work. She really, really wants to do this. For me, it's a job. One I'll be good at, admittedly, but not one that will ever be my raison d' etre.

So join me, all you out there, in keeping your fingers crossed and sending your best wishes to my amazing, beautiful, funny, sarcastic, deserving friend.

Wow, your friend sounds fabulous! LOL

I really appreciate everything you've done for me. And you're right, it would have been difficult on us if I hadn't passed, too. But thank God it's not the case!

You and I will get through the rough start, the scary beginning. We won't let each other down, and I'm so happy (and relieved) to know that we're not alone in this.

Love you!!!
