Clifford Kite, RIP

Sharon Kite called yesterday to tell me that her husband had died.  I searched for soothing words, but all I could say was that I loved her and that I was weeping with her, which was pretty much evident by the fact that I couldn't get a distinguishable word out.

I first met Sharon in church choir where we were bad girls who talked in the balcony during the sermon. But we were also strong leaders who were elected PTA  presidents. and we were career women with important responsibilities, and we are still the good friends who support each other in times of sorrow.

Bless you, my friend.  Again, all I can say is that I love you, and that I am weeping with you.

Fiorella, being as empathetic as they come, is the natural prey of sociopaths, and she's attracted her share of the beasts. All of them have all been totally charming and wickedly funny, and they've made Fio feel special by singling her out to be their friend--their BEST friend.  Of course, when a better prospect comes along, they drop Fio like the proverbial hot potato, and Fio's heart breaks.

Al she can do is pray that someday they will find their better selves.
