The Poston Family

After four years of my cousin Cassie and I not speaking to eachother, I decided to break the silence. I've wanted to for sometime now, but I was always afraid that she wouldn't want anything to do with me. I decided today, that I was going to go for it. But first, this is the story...

Me and Cassie weren't only cousins growing up, we were best friends. We'd write notes back and forth until we got older and got actual cellphones. Her mom (my mom's brother was married to her, but he commited suicide when she was 4 and I was 7) would drive her and her little brother Nick up every summer for a week or two. We always had so much fun together. Then when we got even older and could drive, she'd drive here and I'd go stay with her, and she'd stay here.

She met her now husband, and we stopped talking as much. I don't blame it all on her. She had a miscarriage and messaged me telling me I wasn't there for her (I understand her hormones now). But truthfully, she NEVER told me she had one. She didn't call, message, text. I actually ended up finding out on her boyfriends (husband now) myspace page. After writing me a hateful message, she deleted me and that was it.

I held a lot of resentment and anger towards her for a long time, years even. But after four years, I'd say we've both grown up and got over the things we once said to eachother. She was 18 and I was 21 at the time.

So today, I sent her this message:
Hey Cassie. I know we haven't spoke in quite a while, but I've been thinking about you lately and just wondering how you've been. We were really close growing up and lifes too short to hold grudges over what I don't even remember anymore. Hope to hear back from you.

Her response:
Hey.. funny you mention it, i found some old letters the other day from you. I've been awesome.. you?

My response back:
Oh goodness lol, bet they were funny. Not too bad though. Just wishing it would get warm out!

I know things won't be the same, we both have new relationships and familys now..but I am hoping to start somewhere and eventually become hopefully as close as we were.

Moving on..

Today was pretty eventful. Well, maybe not. I woke Rob up around 8:30AM so he can get ready for work and then I took a shower and hung around here until I had to go babysit. I walked over to Jeff's around 10:30AM and was there for about an hour when he came back and said that Ryan's changed his schedule. So I helped Skylar finish the puzzle we were working on, and then I came back here until 1:30PM so he could go to work at 2PM.

When I went back over there, we played some more games until Rob got off and came over. I thought he was going to help me, but nope. He fell asleep on the couch. I was starting to get really hungry. I felt like I was going to starve and I hadn't taken my nap yet and I wanted to fall asleep. I told her I was going to watch tv and she played her games. I pretty much had to watch the disney channel lol.

Jeff's mom came and got her around 4:30PM and me and Rob came back here where I made us chicken strips and french fries in the deep fryer. Third night in a row that we've had chicken for supper. I'm going to make him so sick of chicken but I can't help it! I LOVE chicken! :)
