Just somebody I used to know

Once upon a time I had this friend. We were very close. My kid called her "Auntie".  She made my husband and I godparents to hers. Given the problems I have with my own family, it was a really big deal for me to cross that line from friend to family with someone I'm not actually related to. It was nice

I know about the friends to family line. It means a great deal to me. Suz and I drifted for several years, because her mother asked me to let her go for the sake of marriage. Like you, I don't deal well with lack of closure. I looked her up on FB one night, and her profile pick was of her with a newborn. I was devastated that I'd missed that much of her world. I wrote to her that night. For us, it was a beginning... though the husband still doesn't like me, nor I him. It isn't at all the same, But I'm glad we've both found our closure, through whatever wandering paths we had to take to get there. Love to you, Lady.
