So a few months ago, Tom's sister had a restaurant party for about 40 people celebrating their 50th anniversary. Of course, Tom and I were there. At that time, she told us about the big summer party she planned for tomorrow.
Though I've had lunch with her several times since, she never mentioned the party to me again. These kinds of milestones are hard to weather. I considered his family my own after 18 years so leading up to tomorrow has been a bit difficult.
But I was doing better than ever.
Until I got a Facebook message from her son, Tom's nephew, saying he was sorry to be missing the party and he'd miss us very much... which told me that his sister Claudia and my friend, I thought, hadn't told the family.
I was heartbroken.
I decided to send private Facebook messages to Claudia's other son and daighter and a niece I had a relationship with letting them know. I just sent it.
Sorry, don't know why that's printing so big. I've already sent it. Hope I did the right thing.
Thanks for letting me vent.

[FONT=.SFUIDisplay]Seeing that Kevin and Gracie didn't know, I wanted to let you know, in case you didn't, that Tom and I are no longer together. I gave him several chances to no avail. I think of you as family and will miss you very much. Life isn't always fair...[/FONT][FONT=.AppleColorEmojiUI]❤️[/FONT]
