For the Keeper at Home

Disappointed, AND Angry!

Have you ever had one of those moments where you wonder wether or not your family reads your blog?  I know my mom isn't really computer-savy enough to find it...and husband never really pays any mind.  But my dad...hmm.

Yes, today, I was stood-up.  And NO, I didn't get the phone call.  Ok, so I WAS 10-minutes late to the airport...not that they were expecting me.  And NO I didn't meet the flight.  BUT, we were SUPPOSED to go for lunch.

Today, Mom and Dad (my stepdad of 25 years) were headed through town on their way to the mountains for Thanksgiving.  Mom called and we set up a meeting at the Starbucks for hugs and kisses...and then they would be on their way.  They knew I was going to have lunch with my dad and his wife.  Well, at the very last minute, Daddy decided he wanted to go the Cracker Barrel for beans, instead of the 'Bucks for coffee.  NO problem.

We ate and joked about me leaving them to go eat again!  :-)  So back to the airport.  I pulled up to the airport about 10 minutes or so after their flight landed.  I figured they would still have to get their rental car and stuff.  So, after killing some time lookign for them, I called husband to get my dad's call number, and called. 

Yes, they had already left the airport.  No, they wouldn't be stopping to have lunch with me.  Not even at teh Starbucks ON THEIR WAY for hugs and kisses.  I know I shouldn't be hurt.  Really.  I mean, I only see my dad 3 times per year.  But I WAS hurt.  And maybe am still...just a bit.

Ok, so there, I have that off my chest.  Thanks for reading.

Your Sister in Christ,

Avery

I can understand how you feel. It is the time of year for families. Even if it is a quick stop for hugs and kisses. 10 minutes is not to long in being late. At this time of year there are more people out and about.
I am sorry you missed them.
God Bless, mj

Momma and I feel for you. *frown*

Avery,
My momma says that your dad is a "stupid poop". Yes, she loves the Lord, but no she doesn't have much feeling for those who don't keep their word or who are selfish. Can you guess where I get the same feeling? *smile* Well, anyways, there is on less thing for you to "squeeze" in today, maybe you will be able to catch up with them as they are heading out. *smile* Let's not get our hopes up though. *smile*

Y'all are soooo sweet! Thank you for the support. It turned out to be a pretty good day. I spent it with friends and my pups. Husband came home early on his way to a hockey game (Men's night out) and then another friend took me to supper and we lamented together.
THANK YOU!!!
