Hey all
A couple of months back I posted that I had told this 'long-time acquaintance' man that I no longer wanted any phone calls from him that took an hour to tell me all that my daughter is doing.
Then the woman who was here caregiver, began the same thing, so I emailed back "Please! no more emails filled with info on her'.
Then I thought, well except for my broken leg I had not emailed my daughter so I send one the other day, called Changes and mentioned a few things about how life has changed since I was younger, as I have done on here, then updated her on my 'new cast every week' thingy and mentioned my eye infection just as I was ready to use the car.
A friendly little piece with no pity me, pity me in it, and asked how things there were.
She replied the next day (yesterday) and it was a longish friendly mail mentioining my leg and eye and things there, how her very best friend had a heart attack, my youngest grandson is now 6'1" at 15 & granddaughter, 18, is going travelling in Europe.
Daughter says she is lonely and son is eating her out of house and home (as boys do)--last summer I think he was about 5'7".
I decided that if I want to know these things, then I want them to come to me from her, and not from some outside source that appears to be spying on her, and lording it over me that I don't know, but up to their dates, I had heard almost everything from her in bits and pieces.
I take nothing for granted; there were no harsh words either way, and receiving her mail felt good. This time she asked questions, which is 'asking' for a reply.
Love Izzy
