An Apology
I received a call this morning from D's mother. She was crying, which I have never seen or heard her do before now. She said, "Jennifer, I just want you to know that I realize that you've suffered throughout all this, and I'm so sorry."
Wow.
What do you say to that?
I'll tell you what I said. I said, "W., please, don't be sorry. I've thought and thought about this, and if I could go back in time, I wouldn't change a thing."
The question that has lingered all day is this: Did she only just come to this realization?
I think so.
And what brought her to this conclusion now? She said that a friend of hers was talking about me and mentioned that it must have been very hard for me. Could that have been it? Or could it have been the fact that I told her that I'd only be visiting D one time. She said she's already told D this. I wonder if he said something to her? Did he have to defend me?
I wonder.
Wow.

Everyone is going through this with their own filter. You've got to admit, W is pretty close to the action and has lost a lot. I wouldn't doubt that it has just now occurred to her that YOU have been through hell. She's been spending her mental energy on her son, her husband, herself, her grandkids...
