bb1,
Yikes, again! My apologies as I followed the link to trip’s reply in my email and just responded to her.
I do thank you and appreciate the time you took to reply to my message.
You are right in the fact that it is his loss as I’m a pretty dam good person to be around. Funny as hell, given the chance, too.lol
All my life whenever I did have contact with him it was, all about the ball club, where and who they were playing, etc. Unfortunately, he never did take the time to teach me about the game so, I never had a clue as to what he was talking about. To this day, I hate baseball and have absolutely no desire to learn anything about the game.
I had contacted him after my Mom passed. He called me every other night. In a way, I looked forward to those calls but….did NOT look forward to the same subject matter that I knew they would contain. Baseball this and your brother, that. I would try to cut in about another subject and usually got put on hold as he was usually watching a ballgame and there was something exciting happening. Not on my side.
Last I talked to him, he was on and on about my brother. His son. I was tired of having him shoved at me and blew up. Yea, I lost control and screamed to him that I was tired of constantly hearing about xxxx. We were in contact 25 years ago but, he pulled the same crap. Constantly talking about xxx. I would try to cut in about something about my life or…just life in general and it didn’t phase him. xx and baseball were all that mattered.
I was going to delete this as this post is not about me but about Pat finding her daughter. I decided not to delete that perhaps it may help another find perspective in their own situation.
Thanks for listening.
