Nothing 4 Nothing

I was stood up waiting at the corner yesterday by someone who promised me a ride. It wasn't a big deal, but I am miffed that I got myself ready to go and waited and waited for nothing. Finally I called this person who said they forgot. Can I be so easily forgotten about? If I was gone tomorrow would anyone even notice? Sad isn't it? Some lives touch so many others, they are valued and prized and talked about long after they depart from this world...and many are only forgotten. It doesn't mean the "forgotten" were not as valuable, but maybe not as outgoing, not as they say "people persons" and didn't touch so many other lives, maybe they are shy, private souls, who go about daily life not making a splash, they are caring and loving and compassionate but not like the 'remembered' ...they are forgotten. For whatever good it may be, for those who feel alone and misunderstood, remember there are others in the same boat and I love you.
