Friends, will you allow me to simply say that things just didn't work out with us and that she is now...elsewhere? I'm sorry that I cannot be more specific than that, but I promised myself that I would just move on.
For now, know that my conscience is clear, my heart is broken (but will heal eventually), and my world is going to be a little different now without her. This is a very deliberate choice that I had to make, and I promise you that it did not arrive without a great deal of soul searching.
But! I am made of hearty peasant stock and, as my stitchy sister Miss Charlene reminded me today...this too shall pass.
So thank you, dear sweet peoples for your love and concern and advice and offers to come to Hoosierville to knock some sense into her. I might take you up on that offer...but as it relates to two very ornery little Jack Russell terrorists that simply refuse to behave themselves no matter how many cookies I send their way.
Onward...to the Happy Chair and beyond! There's stitching to do, shenanagins to be had, and dietCoke to be guzzled.
Oh, what fun we'll have! Stay tuned!
I hope you have Bosco! Family can be complicated and painful. Healing happens, but the pain is real. Best wishes - keep stitching and cuddling the Terriorist.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry...I hope you are at least still on speaking terms, even if living together didn't work out?
ReplyDeleteAhh, if only families could just love & appreciate each other without all the drama. I truly hope you are still in each other's lives, albeit not under the same roof on a continual basis. Perhaps Master Stewey Angus Willowswamp, his very little self, could weigh in on taking back his territory?
ReplyDeleteI wish for you whatever is best, which sometimes can feel the worst.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Marly, her words ring perfect in my mind. Sorry you are going through this bump in the road. So glad you have stitchy 'sisters' to fill the void. XOXO
ReplyDeleteI am sorry the living situation didn't work out. It sounds like you have "custody" of Bosco for the time being. I agree with your buddy Charlene...this too shall pass. Things have a way of working themselves out for the best in the long run.

Sorry this happened, it's never fun to have a falling out. But you've got this!
ReplyDeleteSay it isn't so! Somehow the world seemed a bit brighter knowing Coni, Aunt Chrisy, Stewey and Boxco were OK in their little corner of Hoosierville. Maybe because I'm a Hoosier, and hail from just around the corner. Maybe because I couldn't do without my sister.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about this glitch in your journey. Thinking of you and the boys!
ReplyDeleteI, too, had to make a break with my little sis a few years ago. It was painful, but ultimately I am healthier and happier for it. But I'll be honest- I still miss her.

ReplyDeleteI, too, have had to make a break from my sister. It happens. Still working on dealing with the muddled feelings. All I can say is head up and keep strong!
ReplyDeleteTincture of time heals nearly everything.
ReplyDeleteYou must have peace in your life because it's priceless. I said before my mom lived with me and it turned into a living nightmare. I am going through cancer treatments and she continued to make life miserable and it was time for her to go. I cried for days! I felt like I was the failure, but after three weeks of her gone I have found myself able to breathe. Don't feel bad and most importantly don't let anyone else make you feel bad. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! It'll work out, whichever way it was meant to be
ReplyDeleteThat is too bad things didn't work out for you two.
ReplyDeleteJust because the word family is attached to someone does not always mean you are good for eachother. I hope a sense of peace in your heart regarding your sister.
ReplyDeleteTime heals. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIT sounds like you have made the right choice for you...I hope things become more relaxed an peaceful for you from now on.
ReplyDeleteConi, on the surface there is pain, but at the depths love remains. If that is true for both you and Chrissie (and I'm pretty sure it is), then in tbe end things will be ok. We all (in the stitchy internet world) love you both and wish the best for both of you. And your little dogs, too!
