Yeah, you're right in saying she didn't mean any harm. I know she doesn't in general. I've presented hurt feelings before to her and she's always apologized saying she was totally unaware. She may not have known what to say. That's very possible. I know she doesn't intend to hurt - in fact, she's quite the opposite. She's very sensitive herself and can feel hurt by others' statements. So I know she's sensitive overall to people's feelings. She just blurts out things sometimes and doesn't realize how it may come across. Ha, I guess anyone can be guilty of that, including myself!
