Cheryl...

I guess you took your site down.. well, made it virtually unavailable.

You aren't responding to my mails, so I have no clue whether you're going to check this blog to read what I'm going to write, or not. I wish you well. You take all the time in the world you need to deal with whatever issues you are dealing with. I will no longer bother you with my friendly emails with regards to you or your family. It's obviously not something you can handle at this point, so I'm going to be gracious and leave you alone. Just ponder this. This is the 3rd or 4th time you have decided to distance yourself, without so much as a courtesy mail to explain why. I will no longer allow myself to feel bad, or guilty. Because at this point, I don't think it's about me. I do have your phone number (and David suggested that a phone call wouldn't hurt), but I won't do that. I think whatever "place" you're in right now, the results of my calling would leave me more upset and confused than I already am. But again, I think you need time to deal with your issues. And who am I to compromise that?

I hope that you, J, and that lovely daughter of yours (who is just the cutest darn thing), have a wonderful life. I will wonder about you and about how you're doing. But I cannot continue to sit around guessing why you have chosen yet again, to remove yourself from what I thought was a good friendship- although I know you never thought I was entirely too bright, and I'm sure you think I'm nuts for writing this here. If you don't get this message, somebody else will no doubt tell you about it. :)

All my best.
