An email from a friend, concerning the death of my child...

I received this email from a good friend in CA, whom I emailed right after the death of my child. This is someone who I used to work with, someone who I've stayed in touch with year after year, and someone who I thought was my friend. Pay attention to the tone of voice and lack of respect paid to the death of my child, only 4 weeks prior.

Hi Babs - Happy Birthday!

It's been oh so very long since we chatted. I hope you're doing well. I did receive your email the day before I went on vacation, diving in Curacao. I am so soo soooo sorry about your loss. I was too mortified for words because I know how much it means to you.

Are you coming out to CA anytime soon? I'm in the middle of a job change (surprise, surprise) I have a offer to go back to Lantech, the company I was with for 6 years in Europe (but I'd work out of LA for now) or I have another Aviation company in Carson that I am in the middle of Interviewing with. I would handle Airbus and travel to GY and France. I don't have the perfect background for it, but they really liked me, so I am waiting to find out in the next couple of days.

On the dating scene, well I'm not sure what I last told you but I've been dating 2 men for the past year. Wierd, yes. But I broke it off with one, then he kept calling for the past 6 months straight, and what the heck. I just adore him, it's just that it could never be a long term thing because I'm not Jewish, and not looking to have kids. The other guy Paul is a sweetheart, but his life is full of too much drama for me. So in the meantime, I started to look at Fitness-singles.com. I haven't gone on a date yet - but there are 2 guys that I've been talking to whom Claim they want to meet. We'll see.. I'm told from my friends not to hold my breathe LOL!

So I would love to catch up with you Babs! I hope you have a wonderful Birthday.

I miss you!
