Dear So and So

[Owlie]

Dear not-so-dear person from previous post:
So you took my advice. Good! Except that part in your email that said"you don't have to include it in the summary" is not going to cut it, because what's in the paper has to match what's on the slides! I realize you're from a country where women shouldn't be seen or heard, and you're acting like you're doing me a favor. Not going to fly, buddy.

Dear Old Friends,

We've obviously been growing apart for some time now, but I guess we're officially done. I'm hurt. I do understand your lives have gotten crazy since having kids, but an email would have meant a lot to me. I didn't expect this from either of you.

I'm really grateful for my other friends.

Red - We're here for you!

And I know the feeling about messages going unanswered. It's amazing who I don't hear from after moving cross-country. *sigh*

Aw! I hope you feel better and that your other friends are more sensitive! I have grown apart from my friends that have kids too because it's all they want to talk about (which I understand-- but they aren't interested in what I'm up to anymore as a result). That's crummy!

Aw, so sorry for you, Red. You deserve better!

[OakLeaf]

Aw, (((((red))))).

Aw, so sorry for you, Red. You deserve better!

Indeed you do. (((Red)))! We love you, and I know you have other IRL friend's who have been awesome to you. Try to focus on them.

Dear Self,

It's night skiing for heaven's sake, with the girls, on groomed runs. Your leg will be totally fine, quit stressing out about it.

Dear Cosmos -
So you decided that the fickle finger of fate was up for my little sister's FIL, the one senior adult that was stable in her family's life. That just stinks. So could you please be gentle with them while they get through this crisis? Please? And then maybe go easy on them for a while?

Sign me,
Big Sister who can't do squat to make it all better this time

Thanks for all the hugs. You guys are great.

You know, it's really hard to stay close to my old friends just because we don't have the same things in common anymore, but it's not like we stopped liking each other. I don't know, maybe my BC news freaked them out more than they let on. Who knows.
