Good morning Classmates!
I just want to address something. I know the reunion is over. But man I am steaming. And I’m sure my beautiful friend Amy is as well. So I’m gonna be straight with y’all. And before I get started, this is NOT meant for those that actually showed up. Not to those that responded to EVERYTHING. That took the time to honor our childhood friendship’s. That didn’t make excuses This is NOT for those that have kept their mouth’s shut and they’re texting fingers in their pockets and resisted the urge to be like those easily offended people that I am so sick of!
My friend Amy received something from a classmate that is infuriating! Again, the reunion is OVER! Amy & I busted our asses for many MONTH’S to put this together. Just say thank you and shut your mouth’s to negativity!
We wanted to try again after we had to cancel the thirty year reunion due to lack of interest AND response. We didn’t want to wait until our FORTY YEAR REUNION! We wanted to try one more time. And AGAIN we were met with the same disrespect. No responses from quite a few people. People who said they were coming and didn’t pay so we could not book a venue. I could go and on. Our feelings were hurt….. A LOT! we were SOOO frustrated and angry! We banged our head’s together to figure out a way make it work. Out of desperation to those that WANTED to be there we decided to still have the meet and greet. We took the money out of the equation. And even THEN people couldn’t/wouldn’t even text a simple yes or no. We still had to let the restaurant know how many would be there. Can you feel me, even a little? Days before the reunion Amy and I were so over this. The disrespect….. I couldn’t believe it!!!! Why is it so hard to send a text or respond to a simple post…. Yes I will attend….. No I will not be attending….. so simple, or so we thought. And the people we thought would respond…… NEVER, EVER did! i was asked repeatedly where these people were. I am not their parent’s. I personally texted these folks….. NOTHING ….
And then there were those that had last minute weddings to attend. There were those that “had better thing’s to do.” A simple no would have sufficed. Then were the posts….” Wished I was there.” I call B.S. if you wanted to, you would have been there. We did the meet and greet on FRIDAY so you could still attend your functions, WHATEVER you had going on. We took the money out of the equation if that was an issue for you. We made it as simple as possible for you. We worked out asses off. And it was GREAT! Amy and I have busy lives, families as well, just so ya know.
Even if you showed up for an hour we did whatever we could for all of YOU!
Then the text was received……it was stupid on her part. Basically blaming us for her not being able to come. Her special need’s which we would have been happy to accommodate….. had we known! SHE CHOSE not to come, plain and simple. And then complain about comments on the reunion page! WTF is wrong with people? Take responsibility for your own action’s. How dare any one person come at Amy or I for YOUR lack of respect! I am boiling!!! I tell it like it is. if you don’t like it tough! How dare you sit behind your phone or laptop and write whatever you feel because you can’t pick up a phone or ask to meet for coffee and say it like a woman to our faces. You know who you are. I’m sure she went to Amy because she knew I would have let her have it. And now I have.
I’m done with my rant. Please think before you comment. I will NOT let you rag on my dear friend Amy or myself! She and I had the worst couple of day’s personally the day of and on the before day of the reunion. The past few month’s actually. But we still worked hard on this. Time/life is short. How many more opportunities are we going to have to do this and see one another? Do you think about that…. at all?
We showed up and kept our mouth’s shut. And I expect the same from all of you…. We are 53! If you’re offended , then you probably should be. Welcome to walking in our shoes! This had to be said!
Have a great life.
