Quiet times ...

... are the hardest: mornings where I still wake to a pain in my chest that can only be relieved by distractions of a day not yet started, and late evening hours when I am the only one still awake, dreading to surrender myself to the stillness and quiet of bed, where it can be a long time before sleep (and as always) bad dreams find me.

When my Dad died, my "childhood best friend' had promised to come be with me. She had known him well. When I called her she was busy. She later called and left phone messages angry I wasn't keeping her up to date with information. I sent an email saying this was hurtful and her response was that I needed to get my act together. I have not mourned the loss of what I realize was not a true friendship. I regret not purueing other people for friends, people who would have been there for me. Life is a constant learning experience and some of those lessons are painful and take a long time to get over. You will get there but it takes time.
