well, well, well. i talked to Dale. he didn't make it easy. i told him how i felt and how i specifically felt as if we celebrated his Christmas, but not mine. he replied that he called a day or two after Christmas but didn't get me. i saw one call. i told him much it hurt to spend the day alone and i had hoped that i would hear from him. his answer was "there's nothing that can be done about it now" and he changed the subject. soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
