Does anyone remember the song ‘The Cryin’ Game’ by Dave Berry? Mid sixties I think it was. Tonight my ex. was watching Holby City on television and there were Christmas carols playing in the background. I just couldn’t stop the tears. I had been touched by the knowledge of being left alone at Christmas and through no real fault of my own. I felt so rejected at that moment and it hurt deep inside. This is the price I have to pay for just being me. Family become distant, not my immediate family, my sons but I feel so rejected at this time of year. This is one of the reasons I don’t celebrate Christmas. It is supposed to be a season of goodwill. Well it isn’t. I don’t know how people can live with their consciences knowing they reject you whilst at the same time having a ball themselves. This is the point I was making a short while ago in a recent post. People are selfish, they don’t really care if they hurt those around them. I know about the cryin’ game alright. Now I am ok but every once in a while the tears flow as I succumb to my feelings.
