Aubrey’s Confession

Aubrey admitted to me today that she may be pregnant, and that nearly through me into an emotional break. This is not something I’m prepared for, and it seems to have left our friendship in limbo.

Make no mistake that I care about her in so many ways, I find that some haven’t been created yet and I imagine the they are impressive, even to God.

Thankfully I can count on Everett to catch me, even at times I know he’s carrying a full load. We met for lunch today immediately following Aubrey’s confession. I am so grateful for him.

I’m still not completely sure how I feel about Aubrey’s situation. She asked me a week ago how I’d feel if she were pregnant and I told her that I’d be a little happy and a little sad. She didn’t like my answer.

I guess I’m sad because since we talked about it years ago, I’ve always imagined her having my baby. Perhaps, still sad that our friendship can never be the same. Then happy for her because she’s wanted a baby for a long time. These feelings are in no particular order.

How this plays out, only time will tell.
