Marilynne - I understand how you feel. My son connected with me 1 1/2 years ago, and we\'ve been chatting back & forth on FB (he\'s in BC and too far for us to visit).
When I went into the hospital and he heard about it, plus of course the whole thing with the tenants (!!!!!!!!!!!), he was ok with hearing about them, but when I told him how close it came to me to pass away (as it was drilled into me by Dr\'s ad nauseum), he slowed down and finally stopped. Last I heard from him was when I wished him Happy Birthday on Apr 23rd, then...... nothing. He\'s \"liked\" posts of mine on FB, but that\'s it - nothing more. He didn\'t wish me Happy Birthday when I was in the hospital, nor Mother\'s Day greetings, nor replying to my messages.
Yes, it hurts, especially when we had so recently re-connected after 16 years of nothing...... ah well.

I\'m working on a Bohemian Rose sweater - fits very loosely, and presumably very easy lol yeah, if you can follow the drunken path of the instructions (row 1-10, such and such, row 11 to 15 repeat 1st 5 rows of 1-10, Row 16 to 20, knit, then repeat row 11 to 15 29 times and more convoluted directions than I can follow LOL)
I\'ve finished the back, and now working on the right side. I should be finished it tomorrow sometime, then work on the left side.
I\'m doing it in a varigated wool pattern called Campfire. Burgundy, black, tan, red, grey & white. When I laid out the back, I laughed - looks like Joseph\'s coat of many colours!! The staff at Michaels say they would love to see it when it\'s finished.
