Unforgiveness / Finding Closure

Tgr, I know you are hurting and I'm the cause of that. I hope you know that I never intended for that to happen. I'm very sorry. I would like to ask for your forgiveness. I was hoping that the two of we could re-open the dialogue between the two of us, so that we could address the issues and work them out together and get past this one like we did the last one. I really value our friendship and would like to see it continue. I hope that you feel the same way. I can only ask you to continue to talk with me and resolve the differences and hurts, maybe in PM if you would prefer that, but I can't force you to want to accept my sincere apology for the misunderstandings and the hurt that I've caused you. I can only hope that you would be open to my apology, discussing the problems and coming to a resolution that we both could be satisfied with. I'd like to see our friendship continue. My apology is open for you to respond to. Can the two of us please discuss things again? I don't like that there are any unresolved misunderstandings or hurt that is not addressed. I hope you will consider my offer for resolution and continued friendship.

Don't worry about it AG, it's actually kinda funny that all this took place in a "forgiveness" thread. We even managed to get DocJohn involved, I'm kinda proud of that, lol.

I thought about this over the last day and it only comes down to misunderstanding. Doesn't matter the specifics of it. We've both apologized and now we have closure to move on. Like I always say, when life gives you lemons, squirt them on lobster!

All is well in the world, at PC anyway, lol.

TgrsPurr, I must say that I'm very happy that you have accepted my apology. Yes, it is ironic that it was all misunderstandings and that this happened on a thread about forgiveness and finding closure. But the closure we found was not to our friendship but to our misunderstandings along the way. Now our friendship can continue to grow and be nurtured. I look forward to that very much. You're a wonderful person. I'm glad the outcome of this was a positive one. I also think it is great that DocJohn offered his opinion and insight in this thread. I thank him for that.

BTW, I think I'll have my lemon on shrimp instead of lobster?

Yes, all is well in our little portion of the PC world. lol!!!

Sweet Angel... I'd have to side with the Doc on this one. Your feelings are yours and you're entitled to have them regardless of what others have to say. While they may not understand them, they are YOUR feelings. The key to lasting friendships is unconditional love. That means that you're close friends will love you and care for you regardless of whether or not they understand your feelings or not. Granted it's easier when you can see eye to eye on these kind of things. I have friends that I don't agree with on every issue, but they respect me none the less. Misunderstandings happen. You're so very brave for attempting to both find and give forgiveness. That speaks very well of your character. I'm not trying to butter you up here, but I know how much these issues mean to you. The thing is that sometimes it's better to walk away. I don't know the ins and outs of what has happened between you and the others except that there havbe been hurt feelings. Sometimes feelings have been too hurt to continue a friendship. But the thing is that it doesn't have to end sourly. It's like a relationship. Look at me and Jenn. Too many things have happened to us to continue a relationship and when I move, I'll probablky never see her again. But we'll part ways on good terms... or at least try too. I hope I've said something worth reading here. Hell, I don't know. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

Ry, thanks for your very insightful reply to me. Wouldn't it be nice if all relationships didn't end on a sour note. Unfortunately, that doesn't very often happen. Usually the person who is left behind in a relationship the breaks up ends up feeling very hurt. I guess I'm learning that sometimes you just have to move on and let it go. Letting go is difficult for me so I'm very much still learning ow to do that. Thanks again for your reply. I hope that when you and Jenn part ways that things will be good between you. If so, you both will be very lucky people.
