30 Days of Truth Day 09


This one is very easy for me. I won't say we just drifted... it's more complicated than that. I have this friend, well, we used to be practically best friends. Her name is Beth V... Now Beth B. since she is married now. We worked together at TPS.... and were very close. Due to my own fault, we fell out of our own friendship. It really was all my fault. I was selfish, and was only thinking of myself. I never considered her feelings, and never asked her how she was, or what was going on in her life. I am very sorry for this. I want her to know this. I really miss her. We had some great times together, and her husband is such a great guy. They are both super funny and great people. They are the kind of friends you want to have. I dearly regret what happened with our friendship. We have still not been able to get it back. I hope that with the new year, I can mend some fences if she will let me. I want to get to know her again, and spend time with her. Our lives are different, since I have children, but she is a very busy woman too. I just want to make things right. I want to know how she is, if she is ok, how happy she is, hear her voice, and laugh with her again. 

So I say, Beth B, if you do read this, maybe we can talk soon and get some of our old friendship back. I am truly truly sorry for being so selfish and a bitch, and I hope that we can get past that. I think about you whenever I see you on Facebook, and always wonder how you are doing. I have not had the guts to say all of this until now, so my apologies for that. 

Thanks to everyone for reading, and if you have someone you were once close to, but let drift away, tell them. Let them know you want them back in your life.

Hi Em! I read your story and I think we all have left a friend slip away from us and sorry it happened. I applaud you for trying to amend and reaching out! I pray and hope she answers your plea. Happy Holidays! May you have love ones by your side, lots of laughter and treats with presents under the tree and above all God's blessings.

Hugzzzz
