jafo105 39057 Report post Posted March 26, 2014 A dear friend (actually she is my younger half-sister) called me tonight all upset. She just needed someone to talk to. It is hard comforting someone over the phone. Especially when I am in Ontario and she is in BC. We talked for over three hours. My mother.... our mother's death hit her hard in January and she is still feeling the pain. Mom gave her up for adoption when she was born. She never knew who her biological mother was until a few years ago. She only got to talk to our mother over the phone for the last couple of years and never got to meet her in person. I tried my best to let her know that mom did what she felt was best for her - by giving her up for adoption. She went to a loving home with two wonderful parents and is now blessed with a family of her own. I only wish I could do more to ease her suffering and answer her questions. Questions I do not even know the answer's to. Mom went to her grave with those secrets. We have two older half-brothers who were also given up at birth. None of us has ever met in person. Just the occasional e-mail or phone call. We are not even sure who everyone's biological fathers are. the birth and adoption records are incomplete. There is some speculation that there may be other siblings out there. But no one knows for sure. I was raised by our biological mother. I never knew my biological father. Every child my mother had, she had with a different man. It was a different time back then in the 60's and 70's. I experienced things no child should ever have to endure. I will spare you the details of my childhood. I am sure you have all heard the stories before. Despite everything, I think I turned out OK. I suck at relationships, and most everything else in life, but despite everything, I have never harmed another person. So that must count for something. I forgave my mother a long time ago for the things she did and the choices she made. I hope she left this world in peace. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jafo105 39057 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 It's 8 am, Saturday morning and I have already worked for 4 hours. One of the reasons I went back to school at 30 and took a government job was for the 9-5, Monday-Friday. I hate fiscal year end. Count yourself lucky, curioum7. I took extra courses once-upon-a-time to try and get a better paying job with better hours. I did get the better paying job -- 9-5 Monday to Friday. That is... 9PM to 5AM, Sunday night to Friday morning. Over-time was a bitch!!! Which there was plenty of. On the bright side, I never had any problems with the commute to and from work. I started my weekend - hours before everyone else, and I could sleep in every day if I wanted to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did that a few weeks ago with my granddaughter in my arms...the pain set in a couple days later and still lingers. I have extremely hot baths daily before bed to soothe the pains.

jafo105 39057 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 I just received an e-mail from my last x-girlfriend. We dated about 14 years ago, and we were only together for about five months. She left me for another guy. She eventually married him and has two kids. She has been sending me e-mails once or twice a year for over a decade. The e-mails are always brief chats about the current state of our lives and other trivial current events. Never anything intimate. I don't think anything of it anymore. But there was a time that it would rip me to pieces. Well, that is not entirely true. I do start to crave female companionship not long after we have had chatted. I have not had a date in over six years, or even seen an SP in over a year. I really need to get healthy so I can get back to working. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
