I don't know, Leo. I think sometimes that people are just so wrapped up in their own situations that they don't really notice what's going on with others. I don't think that means that they don't SEE us. It just means that they're not FOCUSED on us.

That sometimes feels personal (see my original post) but on good days, like today, I know that it's not personal at all. Just as sometimes we're too self-absorbed to really look at another person, other people are too.

There's a woman that I work with here in my office and I couldn't tell you when the last time was that she got her haircut. It must have been fairly recently because it looks very well kept, but I haven't noticed from one day to the next. That doesn't mean that I don't see her or care about her because I do. I just don't notice her hair.

Big hugs to you.
