Hi Star,
I believe that to be told that you rock is intended to be a very sincere and genuine compliment to that individual, so I will with both humility and gratitude accept it as such.
It sure beats being told that you have rocks in your head.
It was my pleasure to once more be of some assistance and perhaps provide some words of comfort to my friend in the process.
I feel that your more relaxed "if I am meant to meet my old friend again one day then it will most likely happen" approach to this is probably the best possible course of action for you to take at this particular stage.
Worrying yourself unnecessarily about it is not going to help either of you.
Neither will it probably bring forward the day of your reunion.
Many blessings,
eye_of_tiger
