Did Not Know She Was Holding a Grudge
She did not speak to me for a year.
I was busy, and did not realize she was holding a grudge.
I did not do anything to her, as far as I knew.
I kept leaving messages, but she never called me back.
One day she was at a mutual friend’s house.
I said “Marilee is there!” The friend said “yes”.
I said, “Put her on the phone.”
I was delighted to find her.
Merilee did not get on the phone easily.
She was sobbing and shrieking and screaming.
Apparently her husband thought I did not like him.
So, she had cut me out of her life.
I asked for her husband’s phone number so I could speak to him.
She shrieked at me “I am not giving you my husband’s number!”
I never knew what it was, and I doubt I ever will.
We were close until this moment. Anyway, I thought we were.
I do not think it is up to me to try and fix this.
I have moved on with other friends.
I would not ignore her if I saw her on the street,
but I would not embrace her either.
