I've really needed an extra helping of love lately from my family and friends. Sometimes, I need more than what some people are capable of giving, even though they try their best to give me the comfort and support I need. I understand and appreciate their efforts.
What hurts is that rare situation where someone I feel close to disappoints me. When it wouldn't take all that much time and effort to make me feel a little better. When all it would take is just a few kind words. It's doubly hard when that person adds to my pain by seemingly being intentionally cruel and heartless. I'm left scratching my head, wondering what I could have done to deserve this kind of treatment from someone I've cared so much for for some time.
Some might say that I should get over this person, put her or him behind me and concentrate on the fact that I have some wonderful and caring friends. The problem is that I feel such a powerful connection with the person I speak of, that the painful and inexplicable way that person is dealing with me is magnified.
My message to the person I speak of is this. I can't imagine what I've done to cause you to hurt me like this. I don't ask much from you. You know what a tough time I'm going through. It wouldn't take very much time or effort on your part to make me feel a little better. What is it that prevents you from showing me a little compassion? You might read this, or someone that recognizes who I'm talking about might tell you what I wrote. Even if you wind up not being aware of what I'm saying to you, I still feel a need to write it. The bottom line is, that you're breaking my heart and I don't know why you would want to do that to me.

It does have a degree of truth; in that some of the people
that one would least expect it from, turn out to be the
crulest; even if unintentionally.
Forgive them and give them space to decide if your
being in their `landscape` is what they want. And as much as
it might hurt you for them to be gone. Simply breathe and be open
to those who are there for you.
Glad that X-mas day was good to you.
