convenient excuses
Reason, season, lifetime....bullshit. Many years ago a friend shared a poem with me about those people who enter our lives for a while, a long while or forever. At the time, I smiled and cooed at the sentiment but I now realize the meaning of the lines are much deeper. Specifically, the reason/season parts - it seems anyone who is not willing to invest in a forever plus one day relationship are eventually going to find a convenient excuse to end it all. Friendships are hard, relationships are even harder and most difficult is family. I cried most of the evening last night because I let someone convince me I had done something wrong. Through my tears, I realized it's not me and since I have no control over anyone's feelings - I choose to hold my head high and remember the good times we had.... if only for a freakin season.

Sweetie, You're A-OK in our books, all the time! With much love, Auntie & Uncle
Wow. That post was so much like one in my Blog we could be talking about the same person (although we aren't.) I ended that toxic "friendship." Difficult because I don't like to be hurtful, but I don't like to be hurt either!
