I tried everything to help him.It wasn’t until after we graduated that he snapped out of it. I planned a week long getaway for him and I at this pla...e in the mountains. Stacy loved to fish, so I figured some trout fishing would make him happy. My folks were very well off, they gave me a allowance that would shock you. The trip was my treat to my best friend.

I slept in my own bed and got myself a good night's sleep.The next morning I called my mom from Billy's and told her that I'd be staying at my own house unless Ellen came back and wanted me out. I gave her a hard time about interfering in my marriage too. I told her to have Ray pack up the things. "I really don't want to go back to work on Monday." She said."Me either.

I really needed one, and I know she's way better at the paperwork and organizational stuff that I'll ever.
