For reasons I can not explain, just know that my birthday sucked, big time! And, I deserved (just like each of you) to have a celebration for all the crap I do for everyone else and how hard this life is...I deserved one special day. But, as usual I tried my best to put it behind me and be understanding of all those that did absolutely NOTHING to help lift me up except (and here's the ironic part) for you strangers that I turn to for the support I should have in my "real" life (vs. my cyber life).
So, imagine my delight when a friend from "home" sent me a lovely big package with a beautiful gift and what I thought was going to be her usual funny helful long letter that I would enjoy reading over and over again. We've been friends for over 25 years.
The letter was inside a sweet birthday card (big smile on my face) and then I read it.
It was a self proclaimed "LETTER of LOVE." Those are her words not mine!
I am so out-of-my-mind with sadness and anger right now that I can hardly share what was in the letter...may be just one line...(in italics)
"First of all I am not lecturing you or telling you what to do."
The packed 3-page letter included her lecturing me and telling me exactly what to do...including a classic phrase "we are told the importance of church attendance."
I cannot take much more of such hard work, so many let downs and so few pay-offs.
Please, IF YOU RESPOND, resist with all your might in wishing me a happy birthday---that ship has sailed and I might just pinch your head off!!!!!
Thanks for reading.
