not in the good, fuzzy way you'd like to be touched. but it's from a blog that i read each time this person posts. i have very little in common with this person, but for some reason am compelled to read it every single time. i think that today i found my reason in a single post, with this line:
"Part of the problem with loving a friend so wholly is that they can catch you completely off-guard, and hurt you in such a startlingly unexpected way."
This woman deals, on a daily basis with the, oh so sudden, loss of her child. and most of the time, I don't know that i really relate to much that goes on, but i do read. but this post, is so profoundly written, to me, and it makes me ache for her in knowing that while she is dealing with the obvious grief that she has, that she is also being made to deal with shenanegans from a person that she thought of or thinks of, as a friend.
my heart filled for this woman today.

How very sweet & empathetic of you to care so much & ache for her.
Part of the problem with being human is that we do hurt others when we so often don't want to.
I lost a pregnancy early on & it has been our only pregnancy. And i mention that hoped-for child fairly often. Someone well meaning left a comment that just devastated me. But i know she did not mean it that way & her comment was meant to try to help me.
So hard. Being human & flawed can be so hard.
YOU touched me today with your sweetness & compassion. :) -
