I don't know. When I'm angry, I get very logical. I think about the fact that she did not call, and I think, "those are not the actions of someone who cares about someone else." It seems like simple reality right now. If she wanted to maintain contact (even a 30-second voice mail), she certainly could have found the time. The fact is, she just didn't want to badly enough.

I know these are thoughts born of anger. However, there is a certain satisfaction to facing what seems like reality right now.

We'll see if she can take it. She's had problems doing so in the past sometimes.

Thank you for the support, Daisy. You always make so much sense.
