I had a friend that I have not spoken to or seen in a number of years message me on Facebook and ask how my Husband and I were going.
I was honest ( as I always am ) and told it like it was. Also asking after him and his family.
Well the silence was deafening.
There was no response back from my message and he went on his merry way posting on Facebook about his break over Easter and other general stuff.
I know he has read the response as it shows on the message.
Why do people message others and then not respond to the reply message????
It made me start to think about all the friends that have fallen by the wayside since I became sick over two and half years ago,
I guess people just don't understand how CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia effects the health of a person and how much energy they have to socialise or even talk on the phone.
It can be very lonely.
I am blessed to have a beautiful family who are close and a Husband that supports me in everything I do.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about people that have been in my life as well as things that have happened over the years.
I am learning to let it all go and give thanks for the things that have happened on my life as well as the people that have come and gone out of my life.
I have to be thankful and accepting of my new kind of normal life and be positive about any improvements and gains that may come my way.
One day.......... I will have a little more normality.
