I'll always wonder who you would have been...

Fictitious Dumping
I've never been one to care who was talking about me and even closer to the truth is that I didn't consider anyone would even want to waste their time talking about me. I am someone of course, but not one that remotely has anything worth talking about or so I thought. So when I am approached about "my relationship ending" it was quite a shock.
You see, I'm not even in a relationship! Yes that's right, I am single, but apparently the sweet nineteen year old girl wanted to help me move on and make sure I wasn't sad.
A bit amused, I asked what relationship was ending. With who? How long were we together? Did we have fun? Did I love him? More importantly, did he love me? Wait! Why did we break up?! I mean seriously messing up a relationship with a real life person is one thing, but how the heck did I mess up a fictional one? That takes skill or lack of skill right?
She kindly says, uhhh with "Mr". Yes, I will be vague and leave it at that.
Mr?!, I screech! Yeah, I've been known to screech. Mostly when I'd rather say what the hell are you talking about, but I wouldn't want to scare the lovely teenager. Moving on I ask, "What gave you the idea that we were together?" The reply still blows my mind... "he told me".
There was some more screeching at this point. Am I mad? Sad? Pissed? Happy? Yes, yes, yes and yes! But mostly in shock. According to her, we have been together for about a year. A year!!
Now, I'm not new to dating or having a significant other, but it has been a while. I definitely remember that there is firstly a conversation about establishing the relationship! That part is pretty important! I mean what if I would have cheated on him? That would make me horrible! How dare I not be told! I mean the near daily conversations and not once this could be mentioned.
So back to the break up... it's quite sad, apparently I went and did a very girly no-no... I developed feelings for him! How dare me! So correct me if im wrong, if we are together and together long enough where we officially have to end it, wouldn't it be normal to have feelings for the person at this point?! Dang those feelings for being there, if not I would still have a boyfriend that I didn't even know about!
So as I see you there with your eyes shifting around searching me out and our eyes connecting I just want to know one more thing... did you have feelings for me and is that why are fictitious relationship is ending? Correction, at this point I have a bazillion questions, but that's the one I want the answer to most.
Practically every day talking, texting, and at times sitting right across or beside each other... how did I miss that? And why oh why would you tell some teenage girl about it? Why not me? Why not me? Why?
**last thought... It would have been an honor to call you mine

Old Pictures
I love looking through old pictures. I can do it for hours. I get lost in the memories that come back to me and I let time slip by. It’s such a good feeling to be able to remember even the little things like what I was talking about or hearing or laughing at.
Thanks to Facebook and Myspace, I have been in contact with old friends lately. I have truly enjoyed talking to these people that are now strangers to me. I started thinking how I got from the point of taking pictures with and of these people so many years ago and to one day they’re just gone. Even what I considered the closest of my friends at the time one day were no longer part of my life. The thing that’s so strange to me is that I can’t think of what happened at the time to cause the friendship to stop. Not for any one of them. It was like I or they just disposed of the relationship. It seems so sad. Why didn’t I stay in enough contact with these people that I knew when they were moving or changing phone numbers or in some cases having 3 kids!
I have a pretty small circle of friends where I live now and I even consider some of them part of my family. I wonder if one day they too will be abandoned. Or is me being abandoned?
I’m very emotional lately. I just made a photo album for my kids paternal grandparents. Their only biological family that has reached out to them. I looked through the book about 20 times before I mailed it off. I even printed doubles of the pictures so I could scrapbook them some day when I find the time to do that again. Those smiles and the fun. I remember it all like it just happened even though it was a span of about 3 years.
Back to the emotional part... I am going to court in a few weeks in the hopes of getting custody of these little boys that have truly changed my life. They are not blood related to me, but they are part of me in every sense. They are a blessing to me every single day. I wake up with a smile knowing they are right there in the next room and we get to spend another day together.
I’m not supposed to admit my fear or bring bad luck upon myself or whatever by saying this, but what happens if that day in court doesn’t go like I’ve been praying it will for the last 3 years. It’s very rare that judges place kids with a non-relative. I have had this panic building in my chest for the last week or so just thinking of this situation. I’m certain I have provided a safe, loving home for these children, but the courts can’t see that. They don’t know that my heart melts every time my five your old says "mommy I love you all the way to heaven and back!" or how my six year old looks at me with those gorgeous hazel eyes with complete trust and love. I don’t want those to just be memories. I don’t want to be abandoned and I don’t want them taken from their loving home. We are a family. Can I childishly say.. It’s not fair! And not just unfair to me, but certainly to them as well.
