*hugs rose* Hello my darling. How are you today?
2:06 am
grannyrose
i am not worthy of your hugs sprite. my heart is breaking that i have hurt one of the few decent people in this god-damned ugly world.
2:07 am
sprite
sweetie, please read my reply email. We are good. And you are SO worthy of my hugs. And my love and friendship. Don't ever doubt it.
2:13 am
grannyrose
honey, you are the light at the end of the very dark tunnel i sometimes find myself. at the mo' i hurt in every possible way. and i hate myself for hurting you. you may forgive me, but i don't forgive me. it was totally thoughtless and, obviously cruel for you to read .i make you this promise though, as i have just said to Don. i will not do anything silly.
2:15 am
grannyrose
i cannot stop weeping. i have taken endone and valium. i hope i will be calmer when they kick in.
2:16 am
sprite
*holding rose in a warm embrace* As I wrote, there is no need for forgiveness, honey. I am not holding anything against you, ever. People are fallible, we all are. Sometimes we do or say something that will impact on others in ways we did not intend. We all do. Talking it over together will create more understanding, and that's all there is to it.
2:18 am
sprite
I am so sorry you feel so down. And hurting all over. No, please don't do anything silly. Remember how we felt when we were together. When your medication kicks in and you will have had the infusions you need, things will start to feel better. I promise. Now breathe, and stop hitting yourself over the head for being human.
2:18 am
grannyrose
oh God. why are we so far apart physically?
2:20 am
sprite
ugh, ikr? We SO need a Scotty to beam us over. I wish I could hold you in reality. But for now, being with you in spirit will have to do. I love you. Always will. And you are a beautiful person who gives love wherever she goes.
2:25 am
grannyrose
thank-you my dear. i am starting to calm down. and for the lurkers, i hope you can see that a simple comment even made in love can hurt. Never be afraid to say sorry. you may not understand why someone is so aggrieved, but validating how they feel and apologising with no if's mentioned, can go along way to mending a broken moment
2:26 am
sprite
a beautiful life lesson, that :)
2:27 am
sprite
and glad you are starting to calm down. It is tough, riding that rollercoaster of negative feelings.
2:28 am

2:33 am
grannyrose
it is St Francis"s Day at church where we had a blessing of the animals. the children all brought along their 'pets'. the stuffed inanimate variety. and our vicar blessed them all. on the way out, Kerry the Children's Ministry leader, stopped by me and asked if i had any valium in my pocket. apparently it was lke a zoo in the classroom.
2:33 am
sprite
aw yeah, I can imagine it is a bit much. But what a lovely idea.
2:35 am
grannyrose
usually we have many of the real variety, but this year it snuck up on us, and we didn't advertise in time.
2:36 am

I think it is a lovely idea to have children bring their stuffed animals. They are so special to children, and it is great to take that seriously.

oh and did i tell you, on Grand Final day (for australian rules football) Don and i stopped at the supermarket on our way. we were both wearing turkish smoking caps, brightly coloured velvet hats with gold embroidery and pieces of mirror sewn into place. an old codger saw us, and said what are you supposed to be. i said we were being a bit silly as we were on our way to a Grand Final party at our church. he was amazed and said i have never heard of a church having a Grand Final party. and i said, well ours does. at St Thomas'.

Facebook and texting are really killing the English language. Not to mention the way we communicate with each other.
11:33 am
Buggie
Hah, try it in French. So many people can't spell simple verb endings. Passer, passé, passait, passez are all prononced the same, but the first is the infinitive, the rest are the past tense or noun (as in it has passed), another past tense (as in it used to happen), and plural/formal present
11:33 am

worst part is when they add those endings to verbs that don't end that way
