I was just thinking about the day that my brother died. We were supposed to go to a wedding. We were unable to go. But we sent word to the couple that we were very sorry we wouldn't be able to make it. I called later in the week to express how deeply I regretted being unable to attend.
Also. We buried my father six days before Thor and I got married. And still, I went on with the planning and the ceremony and the reception.
And to think, I was feeling guilty for having the audacity to be mad at my friend for baling, by e-mail because she needed to get out of town, and hit a stamp store. Tough shit if I was having a party for her birthday. Why can't I just understand that she's had a family emergency that forced her to flee, later than scheduled, to the stamp store?
I've got some nerve, yes I do.
I should have let the guests sing Happy Birthday at the Un-Birthday Guest Birthday Party. They really wanted to.
I know I don't have style. I know I don't have grace. I know I can handle problems as though I am a bull in a china shop. Heck, just take a look at this passive/aggressive entry, will ya?
However, I do know the smell of stink when it hits me in the face. Especially when this isn't the first time it's wafted in my direction.
The end of this subject. And it's little dog, too.
Now, let's talk about someone who's got style, who's got grace and who can take on a Bully like nobody's business.
How a person can take those lemons of hers and turn them into a lemon meringue pie is something. Cindy, my dear friend from forever, you are an inspiration.
