Well, I did think a long time about this particular blog post. I was going over it in my head and considering if I should be writing it at all. But in the end I decided to do so.
It all has to do with Daisy's passing away. I did get quite a number of responses from friends far away. I did appreciate them all and it really meant a lot to some. Some of those guys who chose to send their condolences I've actually never ever met in person. But there are quite a number of people that I thought of close friends who just couldn't get themselves to write 3 simple words: "I'm so sorry". All of those people have my cell number and my email address. And I do know that the majority of them almost religiously scan their Social Media feed. And yes it really made me mad. Actually I'm still pissed at them.
But if I should dare not to have anything to say about their personal drama and their so called life...I would never ever hear the end of it. That's why I said to myself: "enough is enough". I'm not going to care about their drama anymore. I won't be giving a rats ass about their childish insecurities and don't expect me to be there for them if something really bad should happen to them. The only thing I would have to say then is: "Karma is a bitch"!
This entire experience really showed me who my real friends are. The rest of my so called friends can go and fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned!
Wow...well, I hope I wasn't one of the "friends" who didn't send condolences, but in case I was, I will explain that I didn't know about Daisy's passing immediately because I don't check my Google+ account as often as I do my FB account. At any rate, I am sincerely sorry for your loss and I know the pain, as we too, lost our kitties Izzy in 2011 and Shadow, in 2012. When I saw the picture of Daisy's urn, it made me sad because we didn't have the presence of mind to keep Izzy's ashes. I hope your venting on your blog about this oversight has given you some peace, but also bear in mind that many of your friends might be like me...not as conscientious about our Google+ accounts. It's not an intentional slight to you personally...at least not on my part. Hugs to you and do cherish your fond memories of Daisy as they will always bring you comfort.
