silly comment brings tears
I am so embarrassed! Dh and I went out with friends tonight. She is 3 months pregnant. She made an innocent comment, not realizing how it would affect me. It's not like I haven't heard it before. But tonight, it hit me wrong and I ran out and to the Ladies room crying my eyes out.
She came a little while later and apologized and gave me a hug and cried with me. I am still embarrassed, and emotionally raw, too.

Oh Ani - I am so sorry!
Sometimes, people speak without thinking - I find a lot of peace in the fact that most of the time, please don't even realize it.

She is, and I haven't even known her that long. Dh works with her. She realized right after she said it, but it was too late for me. I normally handle it ok but when I looked at dh and he gave me an understanding look and squeezed my hand, that was it. I ran out of there. I almost knocked some lady down, so I did stop and apologize to her. She was very sweet, "oh honey, no you're fine, go take care of yourself now."

I'm sorry Ani - I'm glad she apologized though, but that doesn't take the hurt away. ((((HUGS))))

(((((hugs))))) I was so emotional during the wait for the adoption...and even now get that way!!
Comments, even innocent, can sometimes strike a cord with us without us even realizing it. We KNOW they don't mean it a certain way but we just can't help it...it's like our bodies needed that emotional vent... Hang in there!! It happens to ALL of us!

Oh ani I'm sorry too! I've had those moments.
 There was one that just came to mind. I was with my father in Nicaragua and he was really proud that he had just memorized a Psalm (I think). He came to the verse where it says "he knit me together in my mother's womb." Wow did I lose it after that. My pain is still very raw. Hang in there, I think a lot of us can identify with you.

Ani,
I feel for you. I think those moments always see to hit us at the strangest times too. Your friend sounds like a true friend. That is a blessing, and that she can cry with you with understanding. Take a little extra time for yourself this weekend you deserve it.
