My good friend, okay so she's more than a friend, has left this area for New York City. Two months ago she got another job, one with better pay and better hours that looked like it would allow her more time with her kids. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. Her family, (Brothers and Sisters,) decided tot ake advantage of her better pay and she ended up working longer hours and seeing her kids even less. Only one of her brothers tried to help, a brother who happens to be a very good friend of mine.

Rose decided that she just couldn't do this and decided to move back to New York where her parents are. It hurt but I accepted her decision. (I offered her a place to stay, along with her kids but the timing just wouldn't have worked out. She aas well as my wife and myself worked day shift.)

Last night she came by my Softball game to say good by. Yes I held her tight, yes I kissed her long and hard. (She is the only woman other than my wife that I have kissed in the past 14 years.) I hugged her kids, who'se pictures hang on the wall of my living room.

As she drove away with her brother who happens to be my best friend I endured the harrasment of her other family members, right up to the time she was out of sight. Her oldest brother, who is mad at her for leaving because he now has to find a job, will have to wait a while to get a job. He has to wait until he heals up. (He made a comment about her kissing me, calling her a Puta. Bad timing, I still had a bat in my hand.)

Rosalita has our phone numbers and our address. She has promised to let us know where she is and what her new numbers are. She plans on getting her life together then returning to Florida. When she does she knows where we are. She is always welcome in my home, no strings attached.

Many of you know how I feel about her, if you don't then let it be known that I love her. She and her children are always wewlcome in my home. Her kids call my wife Mamma. She is the only woman other than my wife I have kissed in 14 years, she is the only woman my wife has ever kissed. She is more family to me than my siblings.

I have lit a candle for her, and I will always remember her. One day, soon we hope, she will return to south Floida. When she does she will live with my wife and myself. She will be part of our family, her kids will be our kids and she will be part of us. Until then I will feel the empty place in my heart, as will my wife.

Oh, Cat. *gentle hugs* I hope everything turns out. I'll wish for the best for you, Mrs. Cat, Rosie and the kids.
 
You and your wife's generosity of spirit never ceases to amaze me. :kiss:
 
Oh, Cat.

I'm so sorry. I hope you'll all be together again very soon.

:rose: :rose: :rose:
 
Man. Sorry to hear it.

But she knows what she has in Fla. This is not the end of the story. Both of you, all of you, have to do what you have to do. Just be true.
 
I thank you, all of you.

Yes this does hurt and even though I understand what she is doing it doesn't make it any easier.

I hate it that she is going so far away. I can't help or protect here up in New York. My wife and I can't be there for her in her times of need.

Yet I know this is what she needs, she needs time away, time for herself, time to learn and grow. I can't and won't begrudge her that.

Now as painful as it is, we can only be here if she decides to return. We can only hope that she decides to come back to us, and if she doesn't we can only hope that she is happy where she decides to remain.

Love is,,,,,,,,,

Cat
