LORD I MISS her!!!! she was my guiding light...My mentor...I owe so much of my change for the better to this awesome lady...I used to tell her "I don't know what I ever did to deserve you" and of course she would get all humble , I loved her and I am not shy about letting folks know how I feel about them...she taught me to be kind to the ones i don't care for...She helped me better apply principles over personalities....I didn't understand what that meant till I grew some more...
yea, there are people on MIP I just DONT care for, but I shall be kind, make amends when appropriate, wish them well...She taught me that that is what life circles are about...the smaller, closer to your heart circles are for those special few, then as the circles grow larger, the distance between me and the other grows.... thats where all the other folks are, and some so distant that you know they are there, but they are not part of your life, but you STILL honor them as a fellow traveler and show them kindness while keeping my boundaries........
I thought of her all day today, wishing I was back East again, so I could have visited her...I used to DRIVE from Boston to NYC , with my ex fiance, for a cup of coffee, then we would go home....When I told Betty that , she thought it was way too funny and not surprising, knowing me, LOL....
Betty, I miss and shall always love you....You are with Stephen now...Happy and free
I wonder if the angels do the 12 steps, LOL..If so, they got the best teacher up there now to guide them....
I am sure we will hear that Betty had a wonderful memorial. What an attentive and loving partner she had
That is something I am going to aim for in the future
