very well put Shelly and i am so sorry for your loss
i think the part of this that really upsets me is that there was no appology or explanation sooner, or ever really. and it has happened over and over and over. the lack of compassion on the senders part is sad.
I have been going through the hardest time of my life this month with a divorce i don't want to see happen, spending days at the ICU with my MIL not knowing if she was going to make it and having to put my heart break aside to be a support system for my now ex husband who thought his mother was going to die, apartment hunting, packing up my life and trying to mentally prepare myself for starting over. i had way more stress and sadness than i thought i could ever handle...but i would try to get on here when i could to at least give a little update or a hint and was truly upset that i couldn't give more time in the hint threads for both the buddy that we have and the trying to guess the buddy that had us. i understand that no matter what i am going through, there are other people who are involved with the commitment i made to the GE and i know how sad i was when my buddy in the first GE i ever entered (years ago) didn't post any pictures or a smilebox of the gifts i sent to them.
not once did i think of the GE as a burden and it was always a happy retreat to help me re-group, remember YT and all the friends and FURiends we have made here and the support that has been shown to me from so many people that i have never met.
i know life happens and i truly do feel for the sender if all of these bad things continued to happen for real, but you never know what kind of day your buddy could be having either... it might not be as bad as yours, but sometimes trying to give someone else a smile helps to put one on your face too...
negative breeds negativity, positive breeds positivity. it is your choice which one you will contribute to the world.
