Sorry that they are asking you to do something that your not willing to do.
its only natural that it will have felt lonely if your use to going there and now you cant
Thank you.
I was born and raised in that church. I even went to their Christian School. Every friend I ever had who had been a part of my life are gone. It's not as bad as losing my parents but it is a close second. I don't know what you can compare it too. Not a single person from the church called me today to say they missed me. I wish again I could tell you I didn't cut today. I wish I could call a "do over." But there are no "do overs" here. Only a long line of silence.
My friends at college are different. They have been so supportive. This would have been an impossible day with them or my sister. She is talking like she will not go back either. I can't ask her to do that. This church has been a part of her life for longer than I have been around. I hope we may go someplace together, though. I admit I would like that.
Sorry for the rant.
