Thanks for the word or encouragement about not trying to second guess myself. I think what happens is when things seem like not breaking the way expected, doubt and second guessing starts to creep in.

There is part 2 to this. (Not looking for advice, but if you want to see how things unfolded, read on. Otherwise, feel free to skip).

Okay, with that tease, guess now I have to tell.

I mentioned that she said that she and her husband will try to stop by to say bye before leaving. Well, I really wanted to as she is just a very very friendly person.

But one thing I learned is trying to meet up when someone is moving is very dicey. First, I wasn't exactly sure what day she was moving. I thought today (7/17) but wasn't sure. So, I sent her a Facebook (FB) message earlier asking, but that was not answered. So, I also gave her my cell # to call so that she and her husband could give me some heads up when they might stop by.

Last night, I looked at my FB message and realized that I had given the wrong number on my cell. I don't have her phone number so I wasn't sure what to do. I then decide to slip a note under her door as I know she doesn't go on FB much.

Today moves around. I'm still not sure if today is moving day for them, but I think it is. I wait around in case they will stop by until around 2 pm. Then self-doubt has already crept in. So, I'm thinking to myself, they probably tried calling that wrong number I gave, assumed nobody was home so took off. Or perhaps they were just being polite saying they would stop by but maybe didn't intend to. Maybe they were in a rush. Or maybe her husband really didn't care much about the having to say goodbye thing.

So, I'm thinking, must have missed out or maybe they won't move until the 19th. I knew it's some odd number in the month. By this time it's going on 2 pm. I go to the grocery store and pick up a bag of fruits and go home. Check my mailbox and see on the bulletin board, her Unit is scheduled to move today , 8 am - 12 pm. So, time has gone, looks like I missed out. At this point I'm feeling down.

I get ready to just go to the elevator when it opens and 3 people walk out. My friend, her husband and her mother in law. My friend says something like "So glad we ran into you. We've went around knocking on doors looking" (she never did try calling the correct number I gave). I said to her how happy to see her before she left. As she was leaving I heard her say to her family how glad she was to run into me.

So, all in all, things turned out well. Some by efforts by me (like sending in the letter to ask for the FB friend setting) and also by pure luck or an answered prayer by just happening to meet by the elevator to say goodbye.

Thanks again for listening to my drama .
