I knew what you were getting at. Sorry if I sounded snippy. I just knew where you were coming from. Some people just really tend to over react in those situations, but of coarse you get those who think they're the only person this is happening to and they act like total butts.
Do not worry about it.

You were defending your friend! Sometimes life has a way of stopping you for a second and reassess exactly where you were.

In a few months your friend will tell you stories about her experience, you'll both laugh.

Example?

I went to my parents house after the 94 earthquake.....It took me 2.5 hours to make a 45 minute trip.

I saw on the TV that many homes were damaged and I was really bothered about what I'd see when I got there.. When I made it home I saw the fireplace was still standing and the water heater lines broke and flooded their house.....as I walk thru the kitchen I saw a chocolate cake upside down on the counter....

I was upset-I love chocolate cake!!!!!!!

When I asked my mom about it she told me that the cake was in the fridge.....During the quake the door opened and the motion flipped the cake up, across four feet of air and smash......on the counter.

When I remember that day I always get to the chocolate cake and laugh....probably not the right emotion....

But how often do you see a cake commit suicide?
