I have recently reconnected with a high school friend. I'll protect her by calling her Donna. Well, Donna and I have reconnected. I went to see her through a cardiac test last month. We helped each other through a rough time when another friend was making our lives a little crazy. She was sweet, thoughtful and considerate.
About a week ago, I saw her at the grocery store. Things were fine.
Yet over the past 5 days, I've emailed and texted her about 4-5 times.
Not a word. So last night, I sent my final email of concern.
I have been undergoing some difficult financial times and it's funny, but she seems very INSENSITIVE towards this situation I find myself in. I am hurt by it and I'm not quite sure why. I am usually a pretty good "loner" and I let these things "slide" off my back.
So, I guess the fact that I texted her yesterday about my "worry" regarding my skin cancer situation, with NO response, got me even more upset.
I guess I did or said something that upset her? I have no idea.
But I guess I'm going to stop.
I've asked God to help me cast my care with regard to this person. I will pray for her and then let it go.
For whatever reason, she has decided that she doesn't want me as a friend anymore.
I did entertain the thought that she might be busy (although she's recovering from knee surgery) and when I went on Facebook, that theory was disproved. She was sitting by her pool drinking mojitos. So, when the text came in that I was upset, I wonder if she even looked at it.
I'm hurt, my Fibro friends, but it's nothing I haven't been through before.
I'm off to get outside right now and maybe pray for her and for people who REALLY need it.
Has anyone "hurt" you lately? Is it that we let them do it? Or do we set ourselves up for it?
Anyway, please feel free to tell your own story. I'm here to listen....
Until later......
Blessings.................
