Day 326: A Note To A Friend

 

Just waking up from a nap, hair in a pony tail, hanging out with my dog, when I decide to check my Facebook account.

"Wonder what so and so's up to?" I think, doing the usual parade on some of my favorites. Suddenly, I get the overwhelming urge to check in on one my of my old boyfriends (not a curious urge, like something's wrong intuition). We haven't talked in years (his wife's not comfortable with it), but a few weeks ago, he sent me this random message after I posted something on my wall about having Lyme disease.

Him: Hey, just wanted to say HI ! You look great!

(His way of saying "I know you're sick.  Even if we can't talk, I'm thinking of you").

In return, I typed a few lines...hope you are well, family's adorable, saw you changed careers, if I can refer people I will. Today, he's completely gone, off the radar, unfriended.

I can only guess what happened. Perhaps Facebook is acting up.  Maybe his wife cleaned up his friend's list. Perhaps the kiddos got in there and started playing around. Who knows.

Whatever the case, I respect it.

K, if you're reading this, I love you and will always be profoundly grateful for the difference you've made in my life. My husband is awesome...something I never would have appreciated or looked for if I hadn't dated you. I'm sick, but I'm happy.

Never, Never, Never Give Up...right???


When it works for you, you know where to find me.

I'm sorry that happened, but hope it truly brought you some closure. Love you friend. Can't wait to catch up. I'm going into withdrawls! :)

This last site, I like how she talks about Sam Stosur- but I don't know what kind of treatments she is endorsing- as a disclaimer here.

Thank you for your honesty, trust, kindness.

Ohhhh...Trusty Sidekick. How I miss you!!!! I was just lamenting about you today at the office. Were your ears burning?!?!?!

Now that I have your email, I'll be sure to send over the latest research/ramblings. Remember, when you're ready to open that office or need that marketing stuff, I'm here for you (seriously).

Thanks for the link. If you sent it, I know I'll love every minute. Love and miss you dearly. XXOXOXO.
