We were friends before, and I thought we'd be friends afterward. He's a great man.

I didn't really want to go but I didn't want to embarrass him in front of his friends. We had a really great time.

I had broken up (with a boyfriend) and I was upset, standing outside the store one day. We became friends first, before anything else.

It was a moment where everything fell into place. I said afterward that it couldn't get any better than this.

I never thought I'd have to bury one of my friends.

And we're both friends also, so we thought that was cool.
