My heart goes out to you dear BMW and know that I can feel your pain from here. I am so sorry that I've not been around much lately so if you've posted before I didn't see it ............ Please forgive me.
After reading your words I can see that you were the most wonderful friend. You have no reason to feel guilty .... none at all! Please remember that your friend loved you enough to share this most important and most personal time in her life. It was you she trusted enough to talk about her inner thoughts and emotions, not family, not other friends. ... you! You both shared a beautiful friendship in which there was so much love between you. Cherish those memories and know that you did the right thing by supporting her when she needed you most.
I'd like to think that I had a friend as true as the one that you have shown yourself to be. Sending you some hugs and lots and lots of love.
