When I was in grade school I met a friend and for many, many years we were inseperatable. We spent almost all our time together, I dated her brother etc. Her Dad was like a Dad to me. A few years ago....maybe 6 or more now. Her dad died.
I remember the day I was at work and opened the paper at break time and I just started crying. Everyone asked what was wrong....I explained. So I called her to let her know I would be going to the funeral. I had been sending Christmas Cards etc. every year and never gotten one back. Well I went to the funeral and it was GREAT to see her and her family. I remember sitting at the end of the table holding her Mom's hand and wishing that I had never lost touch with Brenda.
My Ex was an asshole and I was not able to have friends or go places. I know why did I put up with that? IDK....I just wanted love. He always went places and was with his friends. Anyways....I have been thinking alot about her and had a dream not too long ago where I woke up crying. I miss her so much and what we had.
I know I have you guys and I love that. And I am forever grateful for Goo for bringin us together.
Well not too long ago I sent her a card telling her that I missed her and to contact me if she wanted to chat. I gave her my numbers, email addys etc. Well last Monday she friended me on Facebook. I was overjoyed. She finally messaged me today. This is what it said:
Me: OMG.....I have been thinking about you alot lately. What have you bheen up to? Where ya been? Did you get my card a while back. I miss you my friend.
Brenda: Hey Ruth sorry I haven't said hi been super busy. I did get your card and honestly I've been pondering what to do. you discarded me pretty harshly all those years ago. But I do appreciate the effort you've made so here we are Facebook frien...ds:) seems like a good place to start.
Me: Thanks for being honest. I appreciate that. I was not myself back then and I thought when your dad died we could start again. I have been very busy myself. I am now working 2 jobs. Hope all is well with you and I respect your decision if you chose not to be friends anymore. Thanks for finding me here and I HOPE we can still be friends.
What are your thoughts on this? I am not sure our relationship will ever be like it was but....I know God puts people in your life for a reason, season or lifetime. I wonder....
