Clarification

I feel I need to clarify a post

I made a couple of weeks ago.

In the following excerpt when I use the word THEY,

I meant THEY in the sense of trying

to be gender non-specific.

Not THEY in the sense of

being more than one person.

I can see how it could be read differently.

In the interest of any following

posts not being confusing.

I will just say that J is a boy

(boy in the sense of boy and girl,

I may be 27 almost 28 but I have a hard time

seeing people my age as men)

There really is no reason to be cryptic.

I could have referred to him as a girl named

Kathleen and people would have known

I was talking about him.

The latest is last week. I worked last Sunday and J was in town for Mother's Day. I did not go to church because I had to work that night and was really tired. J and I talked that morning and J was going to come and say hi/bye/I love you/hug, before leaving town. I woke up at 5:00 p.m. with a message from J saying they had been on the road for a 1/2 hour and just remembered they 'forgot' to come and see me.

Unfortunately, they do not, at this point in time, have the LUXURY of 'forgetting'.
