So my niece put a post up in FB recently stating that for the first night in years she slept without having nightmares. In her dream that night she spent a lot of time with her aunt (my mom, who died 20 years ago). My dad commented on how he misses my mom and his life has been empty without her since.
My dad and i have never had a lot of strong, emotional connections. We get along well. But when it comes to sharing or talking about deeper, emotional stuff, it's just been rare. So when he put that, it reminded me of how i've felt about my own ex. Granted i didn't know her as long, and we never married, but my feelings for her were unique and stronger than with anyone else and i have felt a similar emptiness that my dad expressed, since things ended.
I decided to respond to him by sharing that i had felt similar with my ex. Even pointed out that i knew it wasn't exactly the same, but enough that i could relate to how he felt. I thought this was a good post. A rare chance for me to share something with him that i normally wouldn't. And something we could both relate to on a deeper level. His response was to remove his post, thereby removing my response, and then reposting what he said so it wouldn't have my comment on it.
Have to say, that was rather hurtful.

I empathize with the last part, but even so, sometimes it's good just to get a chance to speak our hearts even if the post is deleted. May Jesus comfort you and your carnal dad sir Ugles.

I'm sorry that happened. Maybe you should ask him why he removed it. It may have been unrelated? But if it was related, I'd want to know what the problem was, and talk about it. :(
 
Hey just saw what you posted, Ugly. Darn...that's not cool. Sorry it happened. I would take Grace's advice and ask him why he did that.

That might be valid. But his post was up there for days. I posted on it last night and by this AM he had it removed and reposted, word for word.

Ooooo its been so long since i've had pan pizza!! It's my favorite. I've been eating costco pizza because its cheaper. Maybe its time to try some pan... :)

I think calories are about the same because what costco doesn't have in thickness it makes up for it in size.
