i think i've had a grudge against my need -
i dunno
i totally laughed this morning -
this may sound however it sounds
but a friend of my mother's
was telling her
about her rant and her housekeeper
her housekeeper did not speak english
and this friend was very emotional
very loud but very vocal of her
inner craziness -
but she said one thing -
her housekeeper even though she couldn't speak english - it great to be heard
by this woman - she would reply "si"
when my mom's friend
would go off on her emotional rants -
and the housekeeper would reply back - "si" acknowledging her pain and suffering
or just validating her- with "si"
ok I am not asking now for post replies
with "si" lol
but - when someone calls - and you end up giving a bit of therapy to them - and then they rush off - to go do something else -
gosh - don't you wish sometimes -
you just had someone to listen -
and even just say "si" lol
i never thought i would say that -
i think i felt annoyed with really my need
and somehow it shouldn't be
but it's true -
it would be nice
anyway -
ttyl!
