Roki and I have been friends longer than either of us would have ever believed.  We came to know each other through a mutual friend (ok, they were friends and I was misguidedly in love with the friend). Other than sarcasm, we don't have much in common and we don't have the same friends.  But, after others come and go, and the dust settles, he's always there for me.  We made a pact in college that if we didn't get married, we would marry each other when we are 40 . . . for the tax break of course!
     Alas, Roki moved to Connecticut on me recently.  I am so happy that he has finally made his dream of living near NYC come true, but there is another part of me that wants him to move back . . . soon!
