It is good that he would not bring it up in public. I hope then in private he will re-establish trust with you. I will hope and pray he does, as I can tell the relationship you had with him is very important to you. I am glad he isn't mean or anything like that. I just hope it works out, that your friendship can go on, and become stronger even in the face of this situation. We do need each other on this earth, and friends are hard to come by. I will be thinking of you tomorrow, and praying. ginnie
