Update
Hello SOTH - okay I lost the first journal so we will try this again....It's Tuesday eve after a 3 day week-end...working in a school district you know what that means - the kids are SICK and TIRED....(of being @ school) as well as the staff today but we made it...September - WOW -- can't believe how much time has passed since my Jennifer went to her heavenly home..It seems like everything always comes back to the second, the minute, the day that Jennifer left this earth.....SIGH....URGH....BREATHE.....
I wanted to give you all an update on my friend Cindy and her husband Chris.....remember? You all were going to 'GET HIM" for me as only sisters can do!! Cindy called me last Wednesday eve, whispering as Chris was asleep and she didn't want to awaken him....she apologized and told me she missed me and was not going to have it any longer. She also said Chris wasn't mad at me, but mad at her and had punished her by not talking to her for 3 days.....REALLY....what kind of jerk does that?? Of course not surprised, but it all makes me sad that my friend (since Jr High) is willing to settle for this home life...$$$$ or not - it makes me sad. So I listened and felt so appreciative that she called me....she knows in her heart how he is...SAD.
Thursday she called inviting me to dinner so I went. To break the ice with Chris since he was quiet and rather reserved. I said "Hi, my brother from another mother"...he couldn't help but laugh and dinner was nice, chit chatting as usual... Of course I wanted to throw my food at him, knowing my friend was "punished".....I wanted to drop another "F bomb" again....but my mother's southern Baptist eyes glared through the heavenly clouds...LOL....so I was nice - go figure.....a novelty sometimes these days.....I feel good, especially since they will be going home 9/24 to Australia for 7 months before returning...I'm glad it's settled if anything really gets settled with him.... But I'm going to have faith that it is..
I went to a BBQ yesterday with other people there as well as Cindy & Chris.. all went well. A friend of Chris' said Chris often has one foot in his mouth and the other one in his "ass"...I though what a terrible thing to say, but SO TRUE.....Seems like everyone knows who he is and they GET IT...so my "F bomb was not shocking I guess"....they love me anyway.....see mom....it's ok to drop a bomb once in a while....LOL
I so appreciate you all reading, responding to my journal. I think of you all often and send an arrow to the sky with every thought of you that you all will have moments of peace and comfort in times that those tears just won't seem to stop...You all keep me going on days that I just don't want to go on or don't seem how I can....Blessings to you... Vicki

I am so sorry for your friend. Chris really is a bully. She is lucky to have you, an understanding, caring friend.
Take care. Enjoy the rest of the week!
Hugs, M
I\'m so glad she called you....... I think you both probably needed that. He is a bully......... wow.
Have a beautiful day
Lisa
Glad everything is well with you and Cindy - sounds like she really appreciates a friend like you to talk to and lean on. Maybe it\'s good that some-one stands up to Chris once in a while? Hope those school kids are behaving! Joanna x
Wow, who needs that man is all I can say?! Grateful it worked out and SO very sorry for your friend that she has to live with this man on a day to day basis, yet it\'s her choice, huh?!
Lots of love dear Vicki and keep on keeping on as you are. YOU are a special woman with a loving heart and it is felt. :)
XO Joanie
Chris is a class-A jerk & a MAJOR pain. I\'m sorry that Cindy feels like she has to put up with him. At least he\'ll be away for awhile! Poor Australia!!!
That being said, I\'m thinking of you & know how the passage of time affects us all. I tend to think of everything as BC & AC. Even if I\'m doing something as simple as choosing something to wear. Everyday things I used to do w/o a second thought. NOW, I think \"The last time I wore this, Charlie was still here.\"
I know you understand.
Be good to yourself, dear Vicki, & remember that you have many caring sisters here.
Prayers & Hugs,
Donna
Yes he is a bully and it is such a shame that Cindy put up with it. I could never do that. You are a good friend to listen to her. Hugs, Kathy
Friends are one of lifes great\'est blessings. So glad, you took up for Cindy :)

My ex husband is the same kind of jerk...he doesn\'t talk to you when he perceives some kind of hurt rather than talk it out...ugh..such childless from a 70 yo man
