Though we recognize the behavior for what it is and can respect her wishes, it is still hard to lose a friend we've grown to care for. She had a hard life none of us will ever be able to comprehend. So sad she couldn't learn to trust again. It may have allowed her to have just a small slice of happiness before she had to leave this earth.<br />Thanks for sharing what you knew of her story. We all need to be reminded that everyone has a story, and some of them are beyond our imagining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38849125.post-57004469952736806682014-10-23T05:57:27.708-07:002014-10-23T05:57:27.708-07:00I wonder if we all have a form of Ursula in our li...I wonder if we all have a form of Ursula in our lives. Mine was Gladys, our next door neighbor while I was growing up who was more of a grandmother to me then than my own grandmother.<br /><br />But you were caught between a rock and a hard place when you couldn't get her on the phone. I experienced something close to this with a friend recently. This friend has been extremely stressed and asked to be left alone. I did as requested for about 3 weeks, then started to wonder if this person was even still alive.<br /><br />I e-mailed, called and left messages suggesting that even a Facebook post once a week would be enough to stop folks like me from wondering if the worst had come to pass. It annoyed this person greatly and appears to have done damage to the friendship. But you know what? There's a post every couple of days, so at least we know the worst has indeed not come to pass after all.Kristoffer Gairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862202554700556478noreply@blogger.com
