When my late wife was in junior high, she met a girl while they were both attending Interlocken.\u00a0 And even though my wife was from the country and this girl was from the big city, they became best of friends.\u00a0 Soon, they were spending time together on holidays and summer vacations.\u00a0 In short, they became “Buds”.<\/p>\n
As the years went on, they became very close.\u00a0\u00a0 We often spent time together as married couples with small children.\u00a0 She was even in our wedding. Then one day, she dumped my wife like last weeks garbage without a word of explanation.<\/p>\n
My late wife was devastated.\u00a0 Each year my wife would send her Christmas cards, and Birthday cards, and anniversary cards and letters.\u00a0 But, there was no response.\u00a0 Emails went unanswered.\u00a0 Letters were not acknowledged.\u00a0 Voice mails were not returned.<\/p>\n
My poor wife was broken hearted.\u00a0 She couldn’t understand why her best friend was treating her this way.\u00a0 Every time that she would send her BFF a Christmas card, she would eagerly check the mail every day for weeks hoping for a reply only to end up disappointed.\u00a0 For 16 years she waited and for 16 years, she cried.<\/p>\n
I felt sorry for my poor wife.\u00a0 I tired to tell her that her BFF was not her BFF, but my wife wouldn’t hear of it.\u00a0 She knew that some day, her BFF would return.\u00a0 I was doubtful.\u00a0 So, needless to say, I was shocked when her BFF wanted to be my friend on Facebook three years after my late wife had passed.<\/p>\n
What was she up to?\u00a0 What was her motive?\u00a0 Why after all of these years?\u00a0 Was it guilt?\u00a0 Was she looking for closure?\u00a0 Was she on an ego trip?\u00a0 Did she have some evil intent?\u00a0 I didn’t trust her.\u00a0 And so, I struggled with allowing her back into my life.\u00a0 But, finally, I gave in and accepted her as my Facebook friend.<\/p>\n
Soon, it became apparent that her Facebook posts were all about her.\u00a0 ALL about her. How wonderful she was when she did this and how wonderful she was when she did that and how she was just so wonderful!<\/p>\n
I soon regretted allowing her on my Facebook account.\u00a0 But then, after a few weeks, she dumped me as her Facebook friend.\u00a0 And that was fine with me.\u00a0 I hope to never hear from her again.<\/p>\n
