We have a boy who hasn’t contacted us in 7 years. I suspect he’s gay but he wouldn’t tell us - he’s never had any courage. I think he doesn’t contact us because he wanted me to give him money 7 years ago so he could buy a house with one of those loans that caused the melt-down and I wouldn’t help him do that.
I check the interwebs occasionally to see if there’s an Obit on him, but otherwise I’m waiting for him to grow up.
He’s 31, it isn’t happening fast.
I think seven years was the longest she went without contact, but there were three years, and five years, and three years again. She used the slightest provocation to justify getting angry with me. There wasn’t much I could do.
She is less than 13 miles from me and I hear from her when it suits her. Which is maybe once every 6-10 weeks. And then it’s on Facebook, addressed to other people.
I just don’t allow myself to get excited about anything she says or does. She invited me (by text) to go to her step-son’s graduation and dinner, but I have to pay for my dinner. This is the daughter and her husband who took his two kids to Europe last year for three weeks.

Ohwell.
It is pouring again.
Hope all that sunshine worked
