It Was The Right Thing To Do

At least I hope so.

When my bff and I were friends, her mom gave us a lot of stuff. Granted, we thought we'd be family or related somehow, someday, but my bff's mom was very generous and gave us a lot of stuff.

She loved us and we/I loved her. The only reason that we/I don't love her now is because I think she raised an idiot. Maybe it's wrong for me to put the blame on my bff's mom but none the less, there is no love lost there.

When my bff left her hubby and kids and started partying, she left me too. We kept in touch for about 6 months after she left them but I couldn't possibly still be her best friend forever if she was partying. I can't be around people who are doing that sort of thing for many, many reasons. I didn't condone her behavior and never kept it a secret.

Today when I was going through my shed, I found a doll bed that had been given to my girls by her mom and it had been in my ex-bff's family since 1819. A long time. My girls haven't used the doll bed since my bff left her hubby and kids but I kept it, anyway.

Today I left it at my ex-bff's mom's house because I thought it was the right thing to do. That option was the option that I felt most comfortable with. I didn't want to donate it or dispose of it so I really hope that when she sees it in her yard, she'll know that I have a heart, because there is nothing wrong with my heart. The only problems in our relationship were brought on by the horrible decisions her daughter made, because her daughter doesn't have a heart.

I didn't call her and let her know that I'd be dropping it off. I didn't even have the nerve to go to the door. I sent Oldest Daughter to leave it at her door and when that wasn't possible, we left it on the other side of her fence, in her yard.

I hope like hell, it was the right thing to do....
